Phoenix – “Lasso”
This track from Thomas Mars and company’s latest record Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix shows their minimalist pop-rock leanings, concise and immediately catchy. Though they have always had an element of pop in their songs, this record trimmed the music down to the very basics: sharp drums, taut guitars, and Mars’ unmistakeable French accent. Their evolution from the more garage rocking Alphabetical and the sunny It’s Never Been Like That resulted in songs like this one, which have attracted their largest audience yet.
