4. Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
This French alt-rock band has been around since 2000 and has released 4 albums, including one live recording, before they finally hit it BIG this year with Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. They received both critical acclaim and commercial success. This album has led to appearances on Saturday Night Live and each of the late night shows. One of the many standouts, “1901” was also featured in a commercial for the 2010 Cadillac SRX. A longtime favorite of indie scenesters, actor Jason Schwartzman and director Wes Anderson, Phoenix creates infectious music. This album is comprised of 10 perfectly constructed pop songs that clock in at approximately 37 minutes of lighthearted fun. Hopefully you have heard and/or own this album, but if not, buy it NOW!
I've been listening to this album lately. It's a great one. Definitely deserves to be on a 2009 'Best of' List.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded another Phoenix album, It's Never Been Like That, and it is great, too. I highly recommend it if you enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteI have a subscription to Rhapsody, and I think it's on there. I'll definitely check it out.
