Phased Out by Rob Munk

Phased Out was a long time coming. Maybe 15 years or so. After playing in bands since I was 15, sometime in the mid-aughts, I just stopped. I guess I lost that loving feeling. My songs felt under-written but overly-rote, and I felt fraudulent. I was done until I had something else to say. That took a while. It took having a family, having a new perspective no longer formed by the angst of a fading adolescence, but the flood of new feelings that comes with being an actual adult, seeing more of the road behind me than in front. I am so grateful to the people who helped me make this record and find my way back to doing something I love. I hope you dig it.

These are the very talented multi-hyphenates who made this happen:

Phased Out was produced, mixed, mastered by musician/producer Ray Ketchem (Elk City, Guided by Voices) at Magic Door Studios, with additional mixing by composer/musician Chuck Johnson at Cirrus Oxide, who were both kind enough to also play on the record. Actor/writer/guitarist Daniel London, bassist,/mastering engineer Scott Anthony, and writer/director Joe Ventura wrote their parts and filled out the band. Solo artist/master gardener Megan Reilly sang on the record, as did Heathcliff artist/Holmes USA frontman Peter Gallagher, and teen spawn Maple Munk. Lil’ George Munk played some keyboards as well. 

Rob Munk’s songs mine the last bit of humanity from a rotting planet, offering glimmering indie-rock hope for those still on the hunt.
