Phlo Finister's first headline performance

With juxtaposition that only these regular East London venues can get away with, the graceful, striking figure of Phlo Finister played her first headline show in the cagey basement of The Sebright Arms last night.

The Oakland-raised, London-based singer launched her aptly titled Poster Girl EP via Night Beach Records with this intimate show, and immediately grabbed the attention of the lucky, patient handful.

‘Hotel Miami‘, that caught our attention earlier this summer, kicked off the short set and remained a stand-out track, with it’s late-night hue setting the tone and highlighting her voice as it floated effortlessly above busy, electronic backing. There is an unerring calm about her whispering vocals and deliberate movements, which contrasted the haunting themes and brooding subtext to her songwriting; never more so than on ‘Killer On The Road‘.

Performing entirely on her own, enjoying only the company of a simple backing track, it is undoubtedly early days but there is room for these songs to grow with a live band behind her.
