Cold summer days call for slow and pretty indie. I wouldn't have it any other way, and artists like Phosphorescent give me renewed faith in itunes' song of the week selections. Brooklyn native Matthew Houck calls his genre "experimental," and I think that's a good way of categorizing this brand of indie-alternative. "Song For Zula" is a sweet-but-sad number that references Mr. Cash's "Ring of Fire" in recounting lost love and the struggle to get some kind of meaning from it all. The string section pulls on my own heartstrings, and it's nearly a cacophony, people. It's a delicate cacophony, and today, it's exactly what I want.
