Phosphorescent Announce Tour, Special To Willie Performances, Share MP3

Phosphorescent are hitting the road in support of To Willie, their February 3 release on Dead Oceans. To Willie finds Phosphorescent digging into the Willie Nelson catalog, covering not classics, but deep album cuts. The songs collected on To Willie seem cracked from Phosphorescent’s proprietary mold with Matthew Houck’s unmistakable voice leading the way. They feel lived in, they feel weathered and they feel just like Phosphorescent.

YONLU Due out on Luaka Bop Records April 28th

The story of Yonlu has many angles. Yes, it is a story about music – of the continuing heart-spilling tradition of lo-fi troubadours, of post-rock’s melodic imprints, of an ancient sadness lurking in the new-century and manifesting itself as modern Bossa Nova.
