TLOBF interview // Phosphorescent
It’s been a good year for Phosphorescent, with an acclaimed album and months touring. We caught up with Matthew Houck just before his band supported The National at Brixton Academy and talked about his year, Willie Nelson and his love of hip-hop.
Phosphorescent UK tour kicks off
Phosphorescent’s UK tour started last night, coinciding with the re-release of the rather splendid album Here’s To Taking It Easy through Dead Oceans. Full details of the tour are below, with support by Timber Timbre. September 07 Bristol Thekla 08 London Scala 10 Bestival Isle of Wight 11 End of the Road 12 Brighton Komedia
Phosphorescent – Here’s To Taking It Easy
Don’t let the upbeat title mislead you. This is still Phosphorescent in hard-drinking, loving-and-losing, tortured and lovelorn mode, and all the better for it.
SOTD #23 // Phosphorescent: ‘It’s Hard to Be Humble (When You’re From Alabama)’
If Pride was the dark side of Houck’s alter-ego Phosphorescent, then Here’s To Taking It Easy – the new album due for release in May – is most certainly the light.
Phosphorescent – To Willie
Phosphorescent turns in a beautifully selected, performed and delivered tribute to Willy Nelson on this covers album: often world-weary, sometimes cynical, battle-hardened, but always moving and honest.
