‘Mental Home Recordings’ is the second solo album from singer-songwriter Philip Parfitt. Having previously made his name in the 80s with alt-rockers, The Perfect Disaster, his latest offering is a far cry from his Velvet Underground-influenced former band, with the rawness in sound now replaced by a rawness of feeling. After their demise, Parfitt now under the name Oedipussy produced 1994’s sublime ‘Divan’. A slick record, it soared, purred, and pulsated with lush rhythms and sexy grooves. Parfitt duly disappeared, shunning the music industry, and relocated to an old mill in France. Critically, though, he never stopped writing and twenty years later in 2014, out of the bleu, he re-emerged with is solo debut; the self-released ‘I’m Not the Man I Used to Be’. Organic and honest, it came very much from the soul and saw a wiser, gentler Philip Parfitt come back into the fray. It was a very welcome and surprising extension to what has been a long musical journey for Parfitt.
