Phoenix

Andy-Pandy

Listened to this band for the first time last week, there new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is great, I also had a listen to there other stuff and it is also very good. I have to say i'd never heard of them before.

Great band, make sure you pick up their previous album - Untitled. And also the Lost in Translation OST.

If i ever feel better and Too Young are prob my favourite tracks. New album is also one of the best this year too.

It's actually called United I think, just in case the OP is having trouble finding it

I really liked It's never Been Like That - I think it's their best after WAP.

this was their debut single Heatwave - much more in the mode of Air, Daft Punk etc than their more 80s-pop influenced albums, still great though...

Try their album Alphabetical from 2004 - their track Run, Run, Run is fabulous. Got me into the band...

Just to resurrect an old thread their first single from the new album is out.
I am impressed hopefully there is more good work to come.

Quite enjoying this album so far (the quality of the leak isn't helping though). It's basically the previous album with more synths but considering WAP was the most danceable rock record since 'Is This It?' a few more spins of the wheel is more than welcome, if it ain't broke and all that jazz.

Early standout is Drakkar Noir (which segues deliciously into Chloroform). It's an absolute banger of bottled euphoria, which is what the previous album had in spades.

When is the album actually out? I'm going seeing them in 2 weeks and I wouldn't mind being familiar with the new songs beforehand.

Actually really like this, in an upbeat, fun kinda way. Very strong first half imo.
