Anyone who has seen Phosphorescent perform knows that the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. Matthew Houck might show up with an acoustic guitar, junk store stage props and a sampler pedal, creating a wash of sound that you would never expect from just one man and his guitar. Or, he might appear with a ramshackle eleven-piece band, some of whom may have never performed the songs before, presenting loose, shambling renditions of Phosphorescent's catalog. It might be a classic quartet, guitar, bass, drums and piano, rearranging the quietest songs into something far more fleshed out, while restraining the joyous, jubilant tunes into precise and delicate numbers. No matter what incarnation of the band shows up, Phosphorescent is always centered around Houck's arresting songs.
Phosphorescent will be on tour throughout the fall, joined by Bowerbirds on the east coast supporting "Pride" (out Oct 23rd through Dead Oceans).
