Matthew Houck of Phosphorescent has announced his new album Revelator, out April 5th and marking his debut for Verve Records. As a preview, he’s also shared the record’s title track.
Houck self-produced Revelator and recorded it in his own Nashville studio over the course of six months. It features collaborators including Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs and Jim White of Dirty Three, as well as Houck’s partner, singer-songwriter/pianist Jo Schornikow. The album is billed as an exploration of “unspoken truths that come with the gravity of navigating home, partnership, and family,” contemplating the dark sides bubbling beneath one’s seemingly idyllic life.
Houck says that he considers “Revelator” to be perhaps the best song he’s ever written. “You’ve ridden beyond where you can safely touch down/ And you’re out in the void past where you could’ve had turned around,” he sings over an expectedly dreamy instrumental.
