If you’ve made Phoenix’s “Armistice” a personal favorite this year, you may also want to consider this, a remix of the song done by Lucian. If possible, call up your local radio station and request to hear the remix more than the original. That is, if radio stations still have not only request lines, but a phone. Make it happen.

FREE MP3 DL: Phoenix’s “Trying To Be Cool (Silver Swans Remix)”
There are times when all you need is to look at the album cover or graphics that is used as a sleeve and go “oh, this is what I’m about to listen to? Maybe I’ll pass” or “oooh, I must check this remix out”. Sometimes that’s all you need, when you are satisfied with a graphic. So here’s the graphic. Below: the song.
(BTW: If you want to create your own remix of the song, you may do so through the stems available at Soundcloud.)
REVIEW: Phoenix’s “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”
This French band named Phoenix have gained a buzz recently for their brand of happy pop with a bit of substance. The new album managed to come my way so I decided to take a listen.
What does “happy pop” mean? For me, it’s means it’s good modern day pop music that is a guilty pleasure, the kind of music you think you’re not expected to like but end up doing. They call this album , without apologies, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Glassnote), and it’s not just pop that is a major strength, but they also throw in a bit of rock and a pinch of smooth soul to turn out a recipe that is the equivalent of cotton candy: you know it’s not necessary, but it’s oh so good. I love how they’ll throw in the unexpected, such as the disco-flavored “Fences” where out of the blue someone will throw in some acoustic guitar and make it sound perfect. Or a song like “Girlfriend”, containing an early 80’s new wave feeling that makes you want to rock back and forth like the British used to do when MTV played 14 videos an hour.
It’s safe to say that they makes this music so people can reminisce, but there’s nothing wrong with that if you don’t do it for too long. The thing with Phoenix is that they know where they’re at but they like to look back and take out what was great from the music of yesterday. It’s bright and pretty pop, and it’s a guilty pleasure worth loving, kissing, and fondling. I’m now tingly.
