I've never really noticed Pheonix. I'd heard some of thier songs in movies or on the radio and enjoyed them to a degree, but they had never really grabbed my attention.
That was until I heard the song "Lasso" from their new album Wolfgang Amadus Pheonix.
The track is two minutes and fifty seconds of pop perfection. I hightly reccomend you give it a listen if you haven't already.
I've heard a few of their other tracks and will definatly be buying myself a copy of thier new album when I'm well enough to go out. And cashed up enough, of course.
