2.25.13 - New Music - Phoenix

Phoenix is BACKKK!

I (along with basically everyone else) loved their 2009 album ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix’, an album which won them the Grammy for Best Alternative Album. It was well deserved, and now they are looking to follow that up with someone equally as catchy.

The lead single from their upcoming ‘Bankrupt!’ is called “Entertainment” and it follows pretty closely behind the singles from ‘Wolfgang’. This time around the band has made their sound even larger, which is fitting now that they have a much larger audience. The track sounds like a mix between “1901” and something off the new Coldplay album.

Perhaps the boys are ready to play stadiums around the world, and not just their native France? Anywho, grandiose choral arrangements are somewhat hidden in the background, but they add to the greatness. Mix them with their signature guitars, vocals, and somewhat newfound new wave synths and you’ve got a Phoenix-sized hit.
