Phoenix on Album Leak, Band Chemistry & 'Bankrupt!'
FUSE TV - Phoenix on Album Leak, Band Chemistry & 'Bankrupt!'
There is a reason for Bankrupt! being the title of the fifth album from Phoenix, but suffice to say it has nothing to do with the fiscal state of the Gallic gents. Matter of fact, having already ascended to indie-pop A-list status with 2009's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and its ridiculously catchy singles "Lisztomania" and "1901," so poised is the shinier and more mainstream-courting new record to take them to even greater heights that if the quartet from Versailles save their Euros they may soon be able to afford a place like Louis's.
An SNL appearance and Coachella gig at which they welcomed none other than R. Kelly as a guest have only served as apéritifs for the main course, which arrives today. Fuse News' Matte Babel caught up with the band to talk leaks, that broke album title, and Phoenix's penchant for the cryptic.
So guys, you are in the position of following up a huge breakthrough album. What is that like?
Laurent Brancowitz: When we did Wolfgang, we did it thinking it would please only a very small amount of people. Actually, we had a good surprise. So if we follow the same strategy...I'm sure it's gonna work!
