.LauraSnapes discusses the ascent of Phoenix (wearephoenix) in new oral history book, 'Phoenix: Liberté, Égalité, Phoenix!':
Whether it’s adroit electro-funk, fried garage rock or exhilarating indie-pop, Phoenix have mastered their fair share of musical styles during their two decades as a band. The Grammy Award-winning French quartet, best known for their 2009 pop/rock opus, went from stealing toilet paper and living with 14 people in a filthy Parisian flat to becoming one of the most inventive and consistently great bands of their era.
All of that stuff was a really joyful surprise. It’s really interesting that you say that that’s what you would’ve expected because one thing that became really apparent to me through spending time with them is that they are obviously very concerned with the perceptions of them in France, which to you and I, as Brits and Americans, we don’t have those cultural hang-ups at all.
It’s funny how that dynamic reflects their approach to music. They never wanted to record in a proper studio. It sounds like they hated being comfortable.
