Phoenix Unplug Something Old, Something New

After more than a couple remixes, Phoenix are back to playing their songs sans other folks' meddling, albeit with less instrumentation. Thomas Mars and Christian Mazzalai stopped by The Alternate Side and offered up Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix's "Lisztomania" along with a reprise of Air's "Playground Love." It's not actually a cover, though, since Mars did originally provide the vocals for the song on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. That's likely why he seems so comfortably in the zone, even in this stripped-down state.

"Lisztomania"

"Playground Love"

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is out 5/25 internationally and 5/25 in the US on Loyaute/Glassnote Records. Remember you can see them live, North America.
