The guitar tone for the solo in "Song for Zula" is absolutely incredible. It's a fantastic song on the album too, but THAT TONE.

[@TheDudeCanRoll]

Song for Zula is incredible! Another great in studio performance! I hear so many songs on kexp that I know I'd never hear anywhere else, truly the best radio station on the planet!! I hope to see Phosphorescent next time they're in town!

[@michele21auntiem]

My Mom's name was Zula. How wonderful to find this. I agree KXEP is the best!

[@RobsonRSilva-sh2mu]

[@alihawkins4687]

So good, it's so nice to hear and watch this band and then listen to an interviewer that appreciates it and asks smart questions. Watching this for free is why modern life is actually great. Many thanks to all involved x.

Song For Zula gets all the love, but this performance of Terror In The Canyon is amazing

[@patriciacorrigancrowe320]

Canal + did it again- got me interested in another band I´d never heard of. Love this song - and the live version is fabulous!

[@bamadave83]

a new anhedonia is such a gorgeously haunting song

[@jonathan09433]

[@theneedleinthegroove]

The more I hear, the more I like.

[@massagerio]

FABULOZO

[@strumbadstroller7350]

Matt is such a great songwriter & performer + for me, there is a kind of sublime ethereal quality to his voice. I was wondering why that woman was there lurking in the background but then she interviewed Matt & it turned out all ok cos she, like me is clearly a fan. Great sound quality as well. Thanks KEXP.

[@ChinaMarsotWood]

Beau. Beau. Beau.

[@juliebuzzelli3634]

Love the 'Type O Negative' shirt on the keyboard player! It was an awesome heavey metal band from the 90's that I was had believed only I seemed to know existed. Epic!

[@karinlarsson3846]

I love you

[@massagerio]

ADOROOOOOOOOOO SIMPLES AI TEM BRASIL 2020

[@angana80]

Excellent !! que du BoNhEuR !!!

[@Pharmatoni]

Awesome Performance. This is for sure "Album of the Year". Have you noticed, this woman looks like dear Mr Spock and she is hiding her Vulcan Ears for good reasons.

[@1stephdev]

can we talk about that Dwight Yoakam shirt??

[@michaellorenzen7410]

1stephdev Dwight rules

[@keciafine3289]

Just checking in. Are you and your family band doing well????? Love the music ❤

[@GreenKimchee]

whoever directed these guys is pretty good

[@eggnoc]

true!

[@petercarrillo751]

What else what else could it be except Seattle don't know nothing about it but I do know..... phosphorent is what America is about.... not even America it's what humans are about ..... but there is a better version of this but I still love it

[@OthersOrSomething]

flaming lips + belle and sebastian + okkerville river

[@OthersOrSomething]

multiplied by the lion king soundtrack

[@christydyson4516]

When I first heard Zula I was positive it was Bruce Springsteen They sound alot like him, I hope they are around as long.. Beautiful

[@michele21auntiem]

He reminded me of Townes van Zant cause he sings from the heart.

[@untomatchi]

Listening to this makes me assured?

[@redjack56]

I think music like art is best left to interpretation by the listener and the viewer (OO)

[@yuweeandkyst]

The drummer's beard is so epic he could break a brick with it.

[@iagobroxado]

Cool.

[@michele21auntiem]

Song for Zula starts at 5:02

[@Lillih3]

Listening to Phosphorescent is once again proof that real music is alive and thriving in the vast cultural wasteland of pop/overproduced/sexed up junk mainstream radio calls music

[@redgrrll65]

His voice reminds me of Pete Droge at times. Nice sound.

[@youmustbekookoo]

Number one 'Lost and Found' band in America. I believe that M. Houke is too sensitive for the business. Listen too him now before he turns to dust.

[@jbgoode000]

Seeing a lot of beards here. This must be pretty damn good!

[@jamieholmes5443]

Fucking aye mate.

[@HalfdanMCMX]

Love Song for Zula but it was very weak here.

[@MsMissymelbourne]

it does sound a helluva lot like bonnie prince billy

[@charlie4847]

This would be nearly as good as it gets without the organ. With the organ, it IS as good as it gets.

[@rscottenglish]

What keyboard is the young lady playing?

[@jackmartin01]

Looks like a Roland VK7

[@manuelplez6429]

21th century .........

[@manuelplez6429]

' s time to nuke all !

[@wallyson23]

his voice reminds me of The War on Drugs, i like it tho

[@GreenKimchee]

shit be genius

[@victoredwards0530]

I love the group, but the sound production here is up there with awful, that keyboard drowning out that fine voice.

[@giulianotoniolo]

Theres somewhat of old Bruce Springsteen in the way they play I guess!

[@griska269]

He's playing in Ireland with The National. Ain't paying to see The National again. Shame.

[@PedroeosLobos]
