An Alabama native and now Brooklyn resident, Phosphorescent (aka Matthew Houck) has delivered five albums since his 2003 debut and has a highly distinctive artistic voice, but also a refreshing, rolled-sleeves approach to his expression. His 2010 album ‘Here’s To Taking It Easy’ was an unapologetically enthusiastic plunge into country rock and rolling Americana. Now with his sixth album ‘Muchacho’ he flashes yet another colour in the subtly shifting Phosphorescent spectrum. The album’s lead single "Song For Zula" is a glorious gem that unfolds with Houck’s cracked vocal stalking the perimeters unabashed.
