I have to admit this took me longer to “get” than any other of Phil Judd’s LPs...but it was worth the wait. Any songwriter who can compose a great melody and has the audacity to only use it for 4 bars or so is a genius. Planet Sublime has so many hidden gems. And Phil’s lyrics (again) are beautiful, dark and hilarious - who else would write a love song set in a rehab clinic??!! Great to see an appearance by Miles Golding as well. Keep up the great work Phil! X

I literally cannot wait for a new Phil Judd album! Like a lot of his music, I find it takes time to truly appreciate how amazing his talent is. Complicated, unique, discerning and stylish...like the great man himself. Thanks Phil

First things first, Phil Judd is funny.

This is a sublime piece of work from the genius that is Phil Judd.

For me, there’s a sense of emptiness and loneliness with the music & lyrics but with an underlining sense of contentment and possibility. I think it’s an almost perfect soundtrack to the lockdown.

I love the segment of Baby & the Bathwater leading into the gorgeous Play it Strange and ending in Tranquillina. I am also currently submerged in Love Crusade & Kite Flying Day.

Play it Strange...Play it Relentlessly
