**************************************************************
Phosphorescent is a one-man folk/alt-country band that is often compared to Iron & Wine, Will Oldham and Neil Young. Phosphorescent - aka Matthew Houck - currently resides in Brooklyn, New York (formerly of Athens, Georgia) and is signed to independent label Dead Oceans (home to Dirty Projectors, Bowerbirds and Akron/Family).
Houck’s career began in 2000 when he released the 'Hipolit' album under the name Fillup Shack. A tour of England and Spain followed, and while the European press drew comparisons to Bob Dylan and Will Oldham, the London Evening Standard declared him “the most significant American in his field since Kurt Cobain.”
Houck’s first release as Phosphorescent, entitled 'A Hundred Times or More', appeared in 2003 on the Warm label. The 2004 EP 'The Weight of Flight' was his last release for the label, as the 2005 full-length internationally well received 'Aw Come Aw Wry' landed on Misra. The latter was named the 12th best album of 2007 by Stylus Magazine and received a 8.0 rating from Pitchfork.
Two years later the release of Pride began a relationship with the Dead Oceans imprint. 'To Willie', Phosphorescent’s tribute to Willie Nelson, followed in early 2009.
