Phoenix is back! I’m remembering days of high school, claiming the French indie-pop band as my undisputed favorite group. Maybe that has changed due to their four year period without an album, but “J-Boy” is a very exciting preview to an upcoming project. Over the years, it seems as if the band’s music has been increasingly pressurised - full of quick-hitting pop anthems made to keep up with a pace of demand that’s almost suffocating. Phoenix kept the futuristic electro-synths, but did away with the chaos that began with “1901” and took over their 2013 release of Bankrupt. This track is much more grounded - not a full return to early, reserved love sounds of a decade ago, but something steady nonetheless. It’s a radiant love song that takes you on a distant getaway, as Phoenix often can do. The recently announced Ti Amo is set to drop on June 9th, and I’m excited by this opportunity to revisit the goodness that is Phoenix and keep an eye out for their new work. Check out “J-Boy” below.
