I picked up a new cd this week and as soon as I listened to it in the car I knew right away that this will get played a lot this summer. It’s by the french alternative band called Phoenix. Not to worry the lyrics aren’t actually in french. Their latest album is called Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and its a great mix of songs for a long run or interstate road trip.
It’s the kind of fun, pop-rock that I love. I won’t attempt to critique it but if you’re looking for a good review you can check this one out from Pitchforkmedia.com. I purchased my copy at Target for only $9.99.
Other favorite bands at the moment:
Elbow, Glasvegas, Matt & Kim, Kings of Leon
