Muchacho, then, was something of a revelation: where its predecessor, 2010's Here's to Taking It Easy, had sold a total of 15,000 copies, Muchacho notched up 20,000 in its first month alone. They had been quietly-feted records that had earned Houck a steady following and critical support, but sold only moderately. Phosphorescent had recorded five albums before the release of last spring's Muchacho. He orders a beer, a pickle-juice shot we head to a quiet corner of the bar. It is the day after Houck, who performs as Phosphorescent, has played the Brooklyn Academy of Music as part of the Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival, and he carries an air of post-show contentment about him. L ate Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn, the street full of long shadows and day drinkers, I watch Matthew Houck pull up outside the bar on his motorcycle, low sun catching its chrome trim and the top of his pale blonde hair.
