Phosphorescent has announced a new single ‘A Charm / A Blade’ to be released on 27 May via Dead Oceans. The superlative track; all barrelling piano and stabby horns galore, is the second to be taken from the critically acclaimed Muchacho, Matthew Houck’s most stunning album yet, that received praise from all corners of the press on release last month.
‘A Charm / A Blade’ is a classic Phosphorescent blend of country soul with atmospheric production, while the lyrics exude poetic frustration and heartache over an ill-fated relationship. Carefully striking a balance of “part euphoric escapism, part self-hating solipsism” (Uncut), ‘A Charm / A Blade’ is delivered with those crowded vocal harmonies, which somehow end up sounding more upbeat and vindicated than melancholy.
The glorious new Phosphorescent live incarnation will return to the UK for some dates next month, playing a sold out Village Underground in London on the 15 May and The Great Escape the following day before heading to Primavera in Barcelona. He will be back in the summer to play Green Man in August and more UK dates will be announced soon.
