Phoenix - The French indie-pop band too good for their own good. Their singles became ubiquitous in 2009, and thankfully for my sanity and probably their own, they've stayed away this past year or so. Sure, Girl Talk sampled "1901" on All Day and then Phoenix frontman's wifey Sofia Coppola featured "Love Like A Sunset" in her film Somewhere.
But really, this song above is awesome because it isn't Phoenix. Strange Talk is out of Melbourne, Australia, and they ape Phoenix HARD on this track.
Honestly, I could have very well just said this was new Phoenix, and been on my merry way knowing I had convincingly deceived every one of my 3 followers (hi Mom).
Where would that leave them? With "Eskimo Boy," a fresh and pleasant sounding track perfect for this Bay spring breeze. Holla.
