Matthew Houck of Phosphorescent has announced his new album Revelator, out April 5th and marking his debut for Verve Records. As a preview, he’s also shared the record’s title track.
Houck self-produced Revelator and recorded it in his own Nashville studio over the course of six months. It features collaborators including Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs and Jim White of Dirty Three, as well as Houck’s partner, singer-songwriter/pianist Jo Schornikow. The album is billed as an exploration of “unspoken truths that come with the gravity of navigating home, partnership, and family,” contemplating the dark sides bubbling beneath one’s seemingly idyllic life.
Houck says that he considers “Revelator” to be perhaps the best song he’s ever written. “You’ve ridden beyond where you can safely touch down/ And you’re out in the void past where you could’ve had turned around,” he sings over an expectedly dreamy instrumental.

Swiss star Roger Federer and his Spanish rival Rafael Nadal have ruled men’s tennis for most of the 21st century thus far. But there was one epochal moment that proved to be a turning point in their competitive careers — and by “moment,” I mean the nearly five hours it took for Nadal to upset Federer at the Wimbeldon final in 2008 in what John McEnroe described as the greatest match in tennis history. The documentary “Strokes of Genius” premiered on the Tennis Channel on June 1, 2018, chronicling that match 10 years after the fact, when both Federer and Nadal are both still regularly winning grand slam tournaments.
At 4 hours and 48 minutes, not counting rain delays that stretched the game past sundown, it was the longest Wimbeldon final in the tournament’s history, long enough that “Strokes of Genius” has time to intercut the story of the match with interludes that tell us...

Conway Savage, longtime pianist with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds for nearly 30 years, died Sunday at the age of 58.
Savage, who joined the Bad Seeds after Cave’s 1990 album The Good Son, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2017, which forced him to miss the band’s tour in support of 2016’s Skeleton Tree. A rep for the band confirmed to Pitchfork that Savage died as a result of the brain tumor.
“Our beloved Conway passed away on Sunday evening,” Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds said in a statement Sunday.
