Air and Daft Punk might be linked to the culture of Phoenix's
but thankfully, the latter's closest musical description of alt electro pop with electro garnering a minority of 10% status is fairly different from the aforementioned bands.
"1901", a song that is one of my favourite currently, can serve as an anthem on its own - a lonesome one indeed. A friend once mentioned if it has anything to do with the particular hot dog outlet. I answered silently while guzzling on some beer, "Maybe, just maybe." Indecisive? Take a listen to the 3rd track then.
"Roll the dice for me" in "Fences" clearly shows that someone is in dire need of a right-on decision and is pleading for it to be determined even if it carries some uncalculated risks.
At times, Thomas Mars' vocals are quite Earthly and tend to sound like Kevin Barnes'.
"Lisztomania", "1901" and "Fences" pack a formidable 1-2-3 combo. Unfortunately, the songs after them are rather stale in comparison.
