Phases is the third remix album by American electronicore band I See Stars, released through Sumerian Records on August 28, 2015. The album features "raw and unplugged" versions of some of the band's previously recorded material, as well as some cover songs.[1] The album is entirely composed of acoustic guitars and basses, pianos, and stringed instruments accompanied by Devin and Andrew Oliver's singing, in place of the screaming, breakdowns, and electronics typically used by the band.
On September 25, 2015, the band embarked on the Phases tour in promotion of the album. Appropriately, the tour only featured the versions of songs performed on Phases and did not feature the entire band, leading to departure rumors of keyboardist and unclean vocalist Zach Johnson and guitarist Jimmy Gregerson. Gregerson's departure was later confirmed, followed by Johnson's a short while later.
All tracks except for 3, 6, 8, and 10 written by I See Stars; lyrics written by Andrew and Devin Oliver.
