Phil Zimmerman has never been one to stay in his lane. The British artist has spent decades hopping between stand-up comedy, acting, songwriting, and Buddhist peace activism with the kind of energy that suggests he’s got too many goals to stick to just one medium. His comedy career peaked with the legendary ‘pigeonman’ act that had audiences howling in the early 2000s, while his acting résumé now includes everything from a villainous turn in Tim Burton’s ‘Dumbo’ to upcoming roles alongside Samuel L. Jackson and John Hannah.
‘Lines In The Sky’ highlights everything that sets Zimmerman apart as a truth-telling performer.
Written back in 2010, it’s taken the world more than ten years to arrive at what Zimmerman was already thinking aloud. The song delivers a garage-rock punch that channels the confrontational spirit of punk. What’s fascinating is how Zimmerman’s diverse background feeds into this single piece of work. The theatrical elements come from his comedy experience, and the fearless subject matter from his activism. Makes you wonder that his 2010 conspiracy theories don’t sound quite so far-fetched anymore.
‘Lines In The Sky’ serves as the latest preview of Zimmerman’s upcoming album ‘Can You Touch, Can You Feel’, which promises collaborations spanning 27 years of his creative journey. It’s protest music for people who’ve grown suspicious of everything they’ve been told to believe.
