Best synth-rock, power-pop release in years
The French band Phoenix has been around for about a ten years and put out a couple of good CDs but this is their masterpiece. They sing in perfect English but it isn't the words that matter, the vocals match the music in more of an instrumental way. The music is upbeat and multi-layered. There are 5 or 6 cuts on this recording that are as good or better than anything I've ever heard in this genre(I'm 58 and a music fan my whole life). Even the other cuts are at least good to excellent. This is amazing musicianship and songcraft. Totally engaging rhythmic bliss!!!
