The Recommender

These guys would normally have got themselves a proper Recommender posting, but we reserve that main section for new bands with debut material on the whole. This “‘How Good Is This…” section is a smaller post generally kept for those things we find that we love so much we simply cannot resist informing you.

PHOENIX are a Parisian 4-piece who are definitely no set of debutantes, having produced 3 studio albums and one live album to date, but their latest work is so sublime and right on the button when it comes to our tastes that they fully deserve shouting about. Good friends with the late-90′s French megastars, Air and Daft Punk, as well as fashion/record label Kitsune, these guys come with a plumped-up pedigree like no other.

New album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, has a rather terrible title, yet it conceals some real musical diamonds. Below I’ve listed lead single, ’1901′, for you as a taster. Enjoy…

PHOENIX -        1901 (ysi)

Some cities just keep churning out cool stuff and Paris has churned out plenty in it’s time. See you back here for a proper round up of what we’ve found more recently in The Recommender – Number 27…
