Stream: Phosphorescent Tackles Leonard Cohen
Ahead of UK Tour...
Release Posted by Robin Murray Thu, 26/05/2011
Phosphorescent are streaming a special Leonard Cohen cover ahead of a new UK tour.
Led by Matthew Houck, Phosphorescent have lain in cult obscurity for too long. However last year's 'Here's To Taking It Easy' album has done much to bring the group kicking and screaming into the public gaze.
A wonderful example of Houck's songwriting, the LP seemed to distil Phosphorescent' appeal onto one disc. Since then, the group have been able to tour across North America and Europe before being invited to appear on Late Night with David Letterman.
Recently performing at Coachella, Phosphorescent are now focussing their attention on the UK. Arranging a number of British dates, the band have decided to give fans a taster of what to expect.
Recently releasing the 'Ghost Lights' live EP, the band recorded a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye'. Out now, you can stream the frankly wonderful cover below...
