Matthew Houck aka Phosphorescent is set to release his 2nd full length of originals on May 11th via Dead Oceans (Inertia in Australia) and is calling it Here’s To Taking It Easy. It follows on from the covers record To Willie and on first listens (yep we have a copy!) it sounds like a finely balanced mix of that alcohol soaked country album and his  more personal and haunting debut.
