If you listen to Triple J, over the last couple of days you would of heard the fourth offering from French funksters Phoenix with "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix". Firstly I'm ashamed to say I have never listened to Phoenix previously despite the name popping up all over the place with much praise. Despite this short coming (I have many more but that's another story) I'm a happy fucking chappy after finding one of my favourite album's of the year!
Phoenix craft a pop friendly sound which doesn't stray too far off the beaten track however still sounds crisp and refreshing. It's reminiscent of those "a moment of schweppervesence" adverts (Fuck TV is brainwashing me) it's highly embraceable, clean and energetic however never leaving you with a desire to vomit up a rainbow after indulging. Lisztomania and 1901 are both two of the best songs I've heard all year and the rest of the album lives up the the high standard. They combine numerous sounds without loosing the simplicity which makes them so approachable and never cross over to the tedious and tiresome from the refreshing and energetic. They headed over to Sydney and Melbourne in the near future for some shows and we've hit up their management to see if they would like to come via Perth hopefully (there is always hope). No matter the outcome check out the Album as it's synth filled indie pop at it's best!
