Phoenix has been one of those great success stories of the year. You may not have realized it, but their song “1901″ is in a popular Cadillac commercial. They also surprisingly had the privilege of playing Saturday Night Live. Their popularity has grown rapidly, and rightfully so. They have quite a style all their own.
Their latest album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a rare mix between the Strokes and Placebo. Electronic, yet as rock as old-school rock can get. It may sound a little bizarre, but it works.
Some of my favorite tracks on the album are as follows:
And here is a video of Phoenix performing 1901 on Saturday Night Live.
