New Entertainment From Phoenix

February 18, 2013 0 Comments

Almost four years have passed since Phoenix made a name for themselves as musical guests on Saturday Night Live, turning a country onto their fourth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.

Now the French quartet is gearing up for the release of Bankrupt! on April 23. Today the festival favorites — Phoenix headlines Coachella that same month — released the album’s first single, “Entertainment.” The band’s sunny new tune goes down super-easy, kinda like the tropical drink depicted in its cover art.

Bankrupt! was mixed on the same recording console as Thriller, a piece of music history that the band purchased for $17,000 via eBay and had shipped to Paris. Here’s the tracklisting:

01 “Entertainment”
02 “The Real Thing”
03 “S.O.S. In Bel Air”
04 “Trying To Be Cool”
05 “Bankrupt!”
06 “Drakkar Noir”
07 “Chloroform”
08 “Don’t”
09 “Bourgeois”
10 “Oblique City”
