Revelator by Phosphorescent

Revelator, the eighth studio album from Phosphorescent, arrived on April 5, 2024, the first record from Matthew Houck's project in six years and its first on Verve Records after five albums with Dead Oceans. Houck, the Alabama-born songwriter who has used the Phosphorescent name since 2001 and now lives in Nashville, spent six months making it at his studio there.

It's a record about home, partnership and family, and Houck rates it the finest writing he has done. He brought in help, too: Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs, Jim White of Dirty Three, and his partner Jo Schornikow, whose "The World Is Ending" became the first Phosphorescent song Houck didn't write himself. The title track, the one that tipped him off that a whole new album was taking shape, went out as the lead single in January 2024, a day after he previewed the songs at The Bitter End in New York City.
