Today's Quick Mention: One of my
biggest guilty pleasures, Robyn, is apparently
planning on putting out three albums this year (one
in the spring, one in the summer and one in the
winter). Awesome. Now I just need
someone to send me those early as early as possible.
Admittedly,
Matthew Houck is usually too much of a threat to
instantly put me in a coma with his work as
Phosphorescent, so unless it's something upbeat (and
it never is) I usually don't pay too much attention
to it. But, with that being said, he seems to
have lightened up on his new LP. Hear the
first single below and then look out for Here's
To Taking It Easy on May 11 via Dead Oceans.
Enjoy.

- It's Hard To Be Humble (When You're From Alabama):
It would appear that adding an actual band (Matthew used to
write/record all the parts) and wanting to pay homage to
"heavy hitters like
early 70’s Rolling Stones, Bobby Charles and Dylan’s
Street Legal" are the main reasons you and I aren't fast
asleep right now. I'm OK with that. Now excuse
me, I'm going to hang out on a porch somewhere and wait for
more of the same great stuff.
