Friday music blogging: Phosphorescent again
by David Roberts.
Last year I wrote up the band Phosphorescent when they released an album of Willie Nelson covers. They’ve got an album of originals out this year, Here’s To Taking It Easy, and you can hear Willie’s influence. The songs are still scrappy and low-fi but they’re shorter and punchier than the slow jams of albums past. It’s good beardy country twang in an era that’s chock full of it. These are good times for the bearded.
Anyway, there’s one song toward the end that’s not not catchy and quick like the others, but something else entirely, and I’m fairly obsessed with it. It’s my favorite song to write to at the moment, called “Hej, Me I’m Light.”
