Phosphorescent - Revelator

In 2022, Matthew Houck, who performs as Phosphorescent, shared The Full Moon Project, a collection of a dozen covers (including tracks by Fleetwood Mac and Nick Lowe) released one at a time every full moon. Today, he’s announcing Revelator — his Verve debut and first proper album since 2018’s C’est La Vie — after debuting songs from the LP at NYC’s The Bitter End last night.

In a span of six months, Houck produced and recorded Revelator in his Nashville studio. The album features Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs, Jim White of Dirty Three, and Houck’s partner Jo Schornikow, who wrote the track “The World Is Ending.”
