Phoenix - "1901" (Music Video)



This is definitely one of my favorite songs by Phoenix, and it's probably the best song on the record. This is just one of the many great songs on "Wolfgang Amadeus" - the fourth studio album by Phoenix. They released their fifth and newest album, "Bankrupt" in 2013, which was not as good as their older albums like "United" and "Alphabetical". You might think because of the band name, that they're from Arizona or Phoenix..... but these indie rockers actually hale from France. There are all these bands with similar styles and sound are from different countries all over the wold.  Music transcends through language barriers, accents, countries, and cultures - good music is appreciated all around the world.. It's like a universal language.

"Wolfgang Amadeus" is by far the best album by Phoenix.in my opinion, and the only album released under Glassnote Records, along with other favorite artists like, Two Door Cinema Club, Childish Gambino, and Chvrches. So, it's no wonder this album was so good and such a critical  and commercial success. After this album, the band went back to Rhino Records, which is a small label under the Warner Bros Records. For what it's worth, it would be tough for anyone to meet or exceed the stunning 2009 release of "Wolfgang Amadeus". It was popular on a mass scale with hit singles such as this song ("1901"), "Lisztomania", "Fences", and "Lasso". This record sounds similar to bands like, The Kooks and Two Door Cinema Club.
