rise of the PHOENIX

PHOENIX (v2 records), a french alt/rock band from versailles, france, combine entrancing back beats with poppy lyrics in their 2009 ep release titled, wolfgang amadeus phoenix.

though only comprised of four tracks, wolfgang amadeus phoenix has the ability to make you believe in ‘love at first sound.’

their sound for their first two tracks, “lisztomania” and “1901” echos that of THE BRAVERY with their synthed-up rock n’ roll style, and STARF****R (but on a 5 hour energy drink) in regards to their vocal technique and their dance-floor ready lyrics. their last two tracks “love like a sunset (part 1 and 2)” are more reminiscent of ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, though with their own twist.
