Phosphorescent Covers Willie Nelson

Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, loves doing covers. In fact, you could argue the guy's addicted to them. Our last few posts on MH have dealt with his takes on Nick Cave's "Right Now I'm A-Roaming," the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost...  CONTINUE READING PHOSPHORESCENT COVERS WILLIE NELSON»

Phosphorescent Covers The Righteous Brothers

Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, is not afraid to tackle someone else's song. We've seen him do a version of Nick Cave's "Right Now I'm A-Roaming" as well as offering a take on Weeds' "Little Boxes." Here he digs into a...  CONTINUE READING PHOSPHORESCENT COVERS THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS»

Phosphorescent Covers Nick Cave

We enjoyed it mightily when Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, added his "Little Boxes" to the Weeds canon. He also does something worth the while with Nick Cave's "Right Now I'm A-Roaming." Houck's hushed rendition removes the swagger of the original,...  CONTINUE READING PHOSPHORESCENT COVERS NICK CAVE»

Mama There's "Wolves" In Black Cabs

Been a good six months or so, but we're still loving Phosphorescent's last one. Matthew's at his best when he's doing "Wolves," and he's at his best when he's solo. Sitting in the back seat of a black cab is...  CONTINUE READING MAMA THERE'S "WOLVES" IN BLACK CABS»

New Phosphorescent Video - "A Picture Of Our Torn Up Praise"

You probably remember when we lost our shit over Phosphorescent's major breakthrough Pride last year. We were a little disappointed to find the album's first clip -- Matthew stumbling around a European hotel room shirtless and drunk -- wasn't commensurate...  CONTINUE READING NEW PHOSPHORESCENT VIDEO - "A PICTURE OF OUR TORN UP PRAISE"»

SXSW: Thursday Featured Showcases

Dinner time in Austin, time to munch tacos and figure the night sched. As the picture suggests, tonight's the night for Jens Lekman fans: y'all have two chances to catch the Swedish troubadour (Emo's at 8PM, Mohawk at midnight). For...  CONTINUE READING SXSW: THURSDAY FEATURED SHOWCASES»

No more pussyfooting -- it's SXSW time. The day parties are starting like now. Since those of you that are Austin bound will spend your daylight hours Thursday-Saturday at Volume for the Stereogum/Paste party (right?), today's the best day to...  CONTINUE READING SXSW: WEDNESDAY PARTY PICKS»

New Phosphorescent Video - "At Death, A Proclamation"

Pride was a favorite of 2007, as our patented gushing attested to last year. Months later, Matthew Houck presents this, the album's first video, filmed "late one night in the outskirts of London, after a Phosphorescent performance." Houck's sepia-toned and...  CONTINUE READING NEW PHOSPHORESCENT VIDEO - "AT DEATH, A PROCLAMATION"»

The 'Gum Drop Giveaway #9

As y'all know, each week Showtime's pot-selling-mom series Weeds' theme song gets a different spin, by everyone from the Shins and Elvis Costello to Devendra and the Decemberists (and, well, Billy Bob Thornton). One take on the Malvina Reynolds-penned tune...  CONTINUE READING THE 'GUM DROP GIVEAWAY #9»

New Phosphorescent - "Wolves"

Been digging on some great pre-release albums of late (Santogold, Celebration), but none have owned our non-promo/casual listening time like Brooklyn by way of Georgia singer/songwriter Matthew Houck (aka Phosphorescent) and the sublime, gothic-tinged folk fare of the forthcoming LP...  CONTINUE READING NEW PHOSPHORESCENT - "WOLVES"»

Inside The Rockers Studio: O'Death

Would you like O'Death? That all depends on how much you're down for banjos, shirtlessness, (literally) chain-rattling drummers, and freak-show mountain folk. This stuff is coming out of Brooklyn, naturally, and it's made a believer of most anyone that's been...  CONTINUE READING INSIDE THE ROCKERS STUDIO: O'DEATH»
