I am so happy for Phoenix – after years of putting out amazing music they have finally received the recognition and respect they deserve. And now there is is proof by having all their contemporary musical peers remix / re-vision their music. Genius business model – that is genuine, sincere, and just a great way to showcase the depth of their music. Looking forward to the Two Doors Cinema Club, 25 Hours a Day, and Boombass remixes.

I have never been a fan of Animal Collective – interesting take on this epic journey of a tune. Animal Collective turns the song into a meditative, Indian sounding tune with Thomas Mars’ vocals looped over like a mantra over some tabla sounding percussion.

Check out what Animal Collective has to say about Phoenix here.

DIGITAL OUTRO F16_14

Here is the beginning of Phoenix’s viral, secret, social networking, marketing scheme by posting some demos and outtakes that did not make it to the already awesome Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Today they posted a demo version of Lisztomania with just vox and guitar and a tweeked out digital synth outro that I feel should have made it onto the album somewhere. So stay tuned and watch out for what password gains you access to these tracks.

Cheers, Hear & Shout

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix will be out May 25 in Europe and out the 26th surprisingly on Glassnote in the US, a tiny indie label. The first single will be “Lisztomania” Tracklist below, looks like no “Twenty-One One Zero”, let’s hope there are more epic tracks like that on the album.

Huge. Dense. POP goodness. I expect nothing less from them. Zdar makes the drums sound huge. I love it and cannot wait for this album.
