Muchacho
“On Muchacho, Matthew Houck's sixth full-length as Phosphorescent, he gathers together everything he's attempted to date-- beery, rollicking country-rock, haunted tribal hymnals, regret-soaked bar room heartbreak-- and fashions it into something close to a defining statement.”
C’est La Vie
“Phosphorescent’s Matthew Houck was probably due for a record about the ever-changing nature of life and the associated beauty and mystery of human transformation. After all, his last full-length—2013’s celestial folk-rock masterpiece, Muchacho—was a breakthrough, earning more accolades and ears than his previous five albums as Phosphorescent. That alone will change a man. Plus, Houck released Much”
Here's to Taking It Easy
“After his Willie Nelson-inspired record, Matthew Houck stays firmly in the world of country music rather than the wilderness folk he'd previously crafted.”
Pride
“This is the latest from Matthew Houck, and though he still sounds a hell of a lot like Will Oldham, his blend of harmonies-and-drone with delicate folk-pop is a perfect autumn sound.”
C’est La Vie
“For his first album in five years, Matthew Houck puts fatherhood and a move to Nashville to good use on songs that are sly and wry and allow his voice to cut through intricate arrangements.”
To Willie
“Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, follows three fine LPs of original songs with a tribute to the Red Headed Stranger, Willie Nelson.”
