PHOENIX

Those of you who haven't yet done so should check out French indie band Phoenix's latest album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Perfect fusion of ambient and pop, and very, very listenable. In places, the lyrics are positively dream-like:

Acres

Visible horizon

Right where it starts and ends

When did we start the end?

Acres

Visible illusion

Where it starts it ends

Love like a sunset

Just enough to tease and tempt you, but not so much that it comes off as slutty. I like.
