Phoenix Start on New 'Experimental,' 'Futuristic' Album
French electro-indie group Phoenix has begun recording a follow-up to 2009's breakout album, "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix." In a video interview with Pedestrian.TV, frontman Thomas Mars called the new effort "futuristic," "experimental" and "minimal." He compared the new music to the sound of a speeding train! The band will be recording with a "bunch of percussionists" on the new album, according to bassist Deck D'Arcy. "We do a lot [of] music with drum machines and we blend a lot [of] drum machines and real drums," said Mars. "I think for us, it's a way to escape that." (MTV)

I'm ready for new stuff from them.

I can't WAIT for new stuff from them. But the way they describe it makes me think of "Love Like a Sunset" which is the one song I skip on their album.

[Hallows]

I can't say I remember that one. I'll have to go back and listen to Wolfgang again.

"Wolfgang" is basically my most played album of the past five years. Each individual track has over 80 spins on my iTunes, except "LLAS" which I have on skip and has like 9 spins. lol

Sweet! I really warmed up to them with this last album. I'm glad to see them head in this direction!
