phosphorescent - to williePhosphorescent is a low-key, low-fi indie folk band along the lines of Iron & Wine or Bon Iver — your basic haunting, echo-y, twangy music for bearded folk. They’ve never really broken out, but if you’re among the bearded, trust me, they will richly reward your attention.

Their new album is called To Willie, and as you might guess from the title, it’s a tribute album to Willie Nelson, along the lines of Nelsons’ To Lefty from Willie.
