This is music that will appeal to anyone looking for a 21st-century Supertramp or Hall & Oates These arch Frenchmen make precision-tooled pop that somehow retains a sense of urgency and playfulness

It's a move the lean men of Phoenix may well be looking forward to, but with it comes the sobering realisation that their mischievous joie de vivre now appears to be lost for good These four French students of Daft Punk dancetronica manage to keep the album lean and, most importantly, interesting until the very end.Phoenix have their dance floor sights set on the garage rock sound of the Strokes, which incidentally meshes perfectly with the band’s synth-soaked neon styleĪn improvement upon its predecessor and it's likely to send the Gallic quartet hurtling towards the mainstream's affections after years of operating on its peripheries. Welcome back, Phoenix we’ve been waiting for you. It’s unlikely you’re going to find an album of equal effortless pop fun this year. Many of the 10 tracks here (the album zips by in just over half an hour) recall the pop perfection of their debut, Untitled, all slinky basslines, furious rhythmic guitar, warm keyboard washes and Mars' laidback croon. Phoenix could well be one of your most thrilling musical discoveries this summer – yes, that good, really. Zooms out of the speakers with a confidence that belies their lack of status, opening with a hat-trick of perfect summer sundaes If you listen to only one song this year about the inner turmoil of 19th-century classical composer Franz Liszt, make it Phoenix's ""Lisztomania. Phoenix are what architects should dance to. They're pleasure-pushers, filling tunes with riffs, phrases, and beats a five-year-old could love. If this doesn't ensnare the doubters, I don't know what will Let it be a pull-yer-socks-up communiqué to all those New Yorkers stealing our European heroes unworn crowns. Let this record be a high watermark album of the decade. Sort by ADM rating Sort by most recent review
