ANARKIA by Phones Noman

NoMen fans! Swell Maps fans! Come together with the first album by Phones NoMan!

Phones Sportsman was a founding member of Swell Maps along with Nikki Sudden, Jowe Head and Epic Soundtracks. Now he has given up being a Sportsman and become a full time NoMan writing words & music and performing them with panache and style! This is a fourteen track album with songs ranging from electronic dub to Post-Punk with an occasional heart felt ballad.

If you are familiar with the "Phones Sportsman Band" material that the NoMen were involved with between 2008 and 2023 you will know what to expect. Once described as "Avant Garde Cabaret" or "bizzare mixture of renewed old-school post-punk, disrupted disco, synth-vibes and extravagant madness!” or even "Like the Sex Pistols meets Teletubbies!” however people try to describe Phones’ music it’s clearly uncategorisable and very, very good!

"When wife and soul-mate Theresa died in September 2023, I thought my life was not going to be worth living. After a month it was still the same… then something amazing happened from two special women I had never met before.
Maria’s counselling helped turn me around when I was at my lowest, and she said that I’d be led to people who would help me.
Victoria has now healed my broken heart, unblocked my emotions and enabled positivity and creativity with her immense empathy, selfless love and powerful reiki. She is the beautiful little sister I never knew I had, and a kindred spirit.
Without them, these songs would not exist. Long live magick!"

Phones is proud to be a NoMan.
