I'm on a big Phosphorescent kick right now. The record Matthew Houck and his band released yesterday on Dead Oceans is without a doubt the best country record I've heard in years. Who knew Houck could handcraft a set of songs so massively appealing? Here's To Taking It Easy isn't simply satisfying a niche in an indie scene; this is the type of album that feels good whoever you are, wherever you are: hipsters, country folks, rockers, and soul fans are all welcome to throw back a few on this storyteller's front porch. If To Willie was meant to draw in a more mainstream audience, then Here's To Taking It Easy is their reward for sticking around.Phosphorescent - "Cocaine Lights" (Daytrotter)
