Blending Americana with electronics, Brooklyn, New York band Phonograph had its genesis in Matthew Welsh (vocals, keyboard, guitar) while working with Tony Maimone of Pere Ubu. Studio engineer John Davis (bass, synthesizer) joined Welsh, soon introducing him to Dave Burnett (drums) and Abe Seiferth (guitar). Phil Sterk (pedal steel, keyboard, guitars) completed the lineup in 2005. As a result of a chance meeting with Wilco bassist John Stirratt, Phonograph found themselves opening for the popular countryrock band. Arclight records released Phonograph's selftitled debut in February 2007.
