About

A TAV Curator's Pick.

Muchacho (Spanish for "boy") is the sixth studio album by American indie rock act Phosphorescent, released in 2013 on Dead Oceans. Self-produced by Matthew Houck, the album was preceded by the single, "Song for Zula".

Muchacho's lyrical content was inspired by the various events that followed his tour in support of previous studio album, Here's to Taking It Easy (2010). - Wiki

“On Muchacho, Matthew Houck's sixth full-length as Phosphorescent, he gathers together everything he's attempted to date-- beery, rollicking country-rock, haunted tribal hymnals, regret-soaked bar room heartbreak-- and fashions it into something close to a defining statement.” - Pitchfork

“Muchacho is, for starters, a tapestry of sounds. Here, Houck gets more mileage out of effects pedals than pedal steel, not to mention a ton of bonus arrangements that lend the record some serious muscle. Bringing together bursts of horns, airborne Fleet Foxes harmonies, and linings of violins and piano, this is just a gorgeously recorded album.” - Consequence of Sound
