Houck began recording and performing under this nom de plume in 2001 in Athens, Georgia, USA. He is currently based in Brooklyn, New York.
Before recording under the name Phosphorescent, Houck traveled the world playing under the moniker Fillup Shack and, in 2000, self-released a limited pressing of the album "Hipolit". In 2001 Houck changed his recording name to Phosphorescent, and, in 2003, released the full-length album "A Hundred Times or More". Interestingly, in the liner notes of the album, Fillup Shack is credited with the drum recordings. The following year, he released the EP "The Weight of Flight".
Phosphorescent rose to wider critical acclaim after releasing "Aw Come Aw Wry" in August 2005 and "Pride" in October 2007. The latter was named the 12th best album of 2007 by Stylus Magazine and received a 8.0 rating from indie website Pitchfork Media. In 2009, inspired by Willie Nelson's tribute album to Lefty Frizzell entitled "To Lefty From Willie", Houck crafted a tribute album to Nelson himself entitled "To Willie" which was released through Dead Oceans. Phosphorescent released "Here's to Taking It Easy" in 2010 and "Muchacho" in 2013.

Aw Come Aw Wry
Phosphorescent Lyrics
Aw Come Aw Wry #3 Aw come aw wry Aw come aw wry Aw come aw wry Aw…
Aw Come Aw Wry #5 aw come aw wry aw come aw wry aw come aw wry aw…
Aw Come Aw Wry #6 Aw come aw wry Aw come aw wry Aw come aw wry Aw…
Dead Heart Around your head, drowned and wet Is a ring of lights,…
Lost Name If I lost my name I would not feel bad 'Cause I…
Not A Heel I am not a heel But I will turn turn Turn I…
