Matthew Houck wrote "Revelator" on his own, and it's the title song of Phosphorescent's eighth studio album, released on April 5, 2024: the band's first for Verve after five albums on Dead Oceans, and their first studio record in six years. Houck calls it the best song he has ever written, and it was the one that told him a whole new album was underway. It went out as the lead single the day he announced the record, right after he had tried several of the new songs out at the Bitter End in New York.
He made the album at his own Nashville studio across six months, with Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs, Jim White of Dirty Three and Jo Schornikow among the contributors, and aimed it at the unspoken truths of home, partnership and family.
