5. Phosphorescent - Muchacho
During the Summer of '06 I spent many evenings walking along a quadilateral space brimming full of hedgerows laden with cherry blossom and holly. I would start these walks at around 8pm and not amble back towards my temporary abode, a white barn house silhoutte on the top of the hill. So far, so uninspiring right?
What didn't strike until towards the twilight of those months, when day gave into night without a struggle, was the contours of an area you could throw over a blanket over.
The key stretch for me lies between 'Terror In The Canyons' and 'Muchacho's Tune'. It's a sudden spiral into a pensive pace. Lead singer Matthew Houck' fragile tones come into focus and remind me of a raw sounding Jim James.
Back to my initial detour, it's like this with 'Muchacho'.
What started as a journey through a star-battered punch drunk love-affair gone awry ended up as a bitterly funny borderline-misanthropic tale of everyman truths. One to laugh and cry to while dwelling in the irony of everyday un-truths.
Key Tracks: Song For Zula, The Quotidian Beasts, Terror In The Canyons.
