Phoenix Are Fun

I remember the first time I heard Phoenix: driving in my car, listening to Radio K and "If I Ever Feel Better" came on. I've been a fan ever since. Each album since has delivered more air-tight, ridiculously catchy, electro-tinged indie-pop. From "Run Run Run" and "Everything Is Everything (off their 2004 Alphabetical release) to "Consolation Prizes" and "One Time Too Many" (from It's Never Been Like That), you always know a Phoenix song when you hear it.

The band has returned with their fourth release, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and they are back in fine form. I've included first single "1901" below as well as the song that first got me into them and one of my personal faves that was never a single. If you already know Phoenix, I hope they're songs you love too. If not, I hope it gets you into their great sound!
