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.

Jaguar – re-release of the album by one of most talented NWOBHM acts ever
Lost heroes? Living legends? Heavy metal veterans? I guess that all these phrases can used with Jaguar, the classic metal formation that stormed the British charts in the early 80’s. Being a part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, the band quickly gathered a large group of fans, selling thousands of records in England alone. Their career came to a halt after 1985, when the group decided…
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. But it’s more than that. It is a story about how such music comes to be in a world where technology and communication hide feelings and emotion, but…

The Long Lost is the Sound of Love on Self-Titled Debut LP
“The Long Lost” is the sound of love – on so many levels and in so many ways that it’s hard to list them. Imagine back in the 60’s they decided to relocate to California with Caetano Veloso. And imagine if, once there, the pair slipped through a time portal whilst high on mescalin and came round in the late noughties, with the kind of production twists that would allow.…
