'C'est La Vie' is Phosphorescent's seventh studio LP and follows the 2013 album 'Muchacho,' Matthew Houck's best-reviewed and best-selling album to date. 'C'est La Vie' reveals a crystallization of what made 'Muchacho' such a breakout - a little sweetness and a little menace, sometimes boot-stomping and sometimes meditative. The magic of Matthew Houck's music has always been the way he weaves shimmering, almost golden-sounding threads through elemental, salt-of-the-earth sounds. It's not experimental, exactly, but it's singular and it's definitely not traditional. That knack, the through-line across the Phosphorescent catalog, is front and center here.
