Pitchfork

Though he's still yet to deliver the finished product of his third LP to their lovin' arms, Phosphorescent's one of the first to plunge into the Dead Oceans label fold.

The label company he'll be keeping-- Dirty Projectors, Evangelicals, Bishop Allen, the Explorers Club-- is reason enough for you to give a gander to Matthew Houck and his Phosphorescent on a handful of live dates throughout July. According to his MySpace, Houck is also playing a house show July 25 on the Florida panhandle, but, as my mother always told me, it'd probably help to know a guy before you go knocking on doors.

Dates:

07-07 Brooklyn, NY - Cinders Gallery
07-15 Santa Cruz, CA - The Attic *
07-16 Oakland, CA - Lobot Gallery
07-17 San Francisco, CA - 12 Galaxies
07-25 Pensacola, FL - Ryan's House
07-26 Panama City, FL - Gallery Above
07-27 Athens, GA - 40 Watt Club
