Phoenix

Phoenix are one of my favourite bands ever but for some reason I never expected to see them live.

I did last week at Brixton Academy though and they were absolutely incredible. With gorgeous crisp guitars, keys and drums. The lighting and stage design were impeccable too with lazers, projections and backdrops to suit the music.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a great album but i'm more into their first two records. After playing most of their new disc in the main set it was the encore that kept me (very) happy.

Everything Is Everything (stripped back)/ Playground Love/ If I Ever Feel Better/ 1901

It was just perfect.

Phoenix From The Flames

One of my favourite bands have returned with a leak from their forthcoming fourth album.

Phoenix are a French group who channel their country's soft rock sensibilities and add funky basslines and electro twists. Members of the band were once in a group called Darlin (great name) with the Daft Punk guys.

Have a listen to Funky Squaredance and all of their second disc Alphabetical. Singer Thomas (who is the partner of Sofia Coppola) once said that their lyrics worked better because English is his second language. He said it meant he didn't sing about 'the kitchen sink.'
