20 year-old Ryan Parmer, aka Phasen, delivers his second self-titled release to Breathe. 'Phasen II: Progressions' offers the newest music composed by this young producer and is already his 14th official album since he launched his career in mid-2007.

Tranquil tracks like "A Universe In Every Grain of Sand" and "Realizing Your Own Mortality" are dispersed among fast paced electro ["Hello, Mr. Plaschek"], deep dub techno ["Lost In A Beautiful Face"], and experimental guitar and vocal pieces ["Glimpse of Self"]. Altogether, this album features the wide display of genres present on many Phasen albums, but this time also demonstrates his markedly improved production abilities, making Phasen II an essential release for all Phasen fans, and also a great place to start for any first time listeners.

Phasen would like to thank Quetzal Contla for being so helpful and kind while preparing this album, Trent McElhinney for providing such lovely artwork, and everyone else for listening.
