Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix was released on May 25th, and is Phoenix's fourth studio album. As expected, it delivers more of the 'catchy-but-what-the-hell-was-he-saying' style of french-indie. Needless to say, the album is a pearler, some of the standouts being '1901', 'Girlfriend' and my personal favourite, 'Lisztomania'.
According to Wikipedia (yes, I'm lazy), Lisztomania was "coined by the German romantic literary figure Heinrich Heine to describe the massive public response to Franz Liszt's virtuosic piano performances".
Oh, okay then.
Here's Lisztomania for you kids to download and listen to. Try to figure out what he's saying without looking at the lyrics. If you already have the original, and want something new, why not try out Yuksek's storming take on it. Pretty interesting.
