This Monday’s episode of Kyle Meredith With… features Kyle’s conversation with Phosphorescent’s Matthew Houck, who dives into the process of creating his new record, C’est La Vie, and how a sense of place tied into his more direct writing. Hoak explained that he was “more open to allowing [his] real life to be there” during the making of C’est La Vie, with life events including the birth of his first child and a bout of serious illness making appearances in songs throughout the album. The songwriter also touches on his recent cover of Radiohead’s “House of Cards” at a live show and the story behind that choice.
