The second album by the British icons actually marked the starting point of their gloomy path towards goth rock leading figures and four decades later it still captivates the listener. NBHAP author Natálie Zehnalová revisited the classic record once again and kindly invites you all to follow her on this journey into darkness.
It is not hard to imagine French indie pop darlings Phoenix sitting in a room together. Ideas bubbling. Song sketches effortlessly turning into a bigger picture and the four longtime friends and (soul) brothers spending hours getting lost in the joy of playing music together. All while their music is doing the talking and a subconscious understanding kicks in. With their seventh album to date, Phoenix have returned with a refined and charming sound on "Alpha Zulu". A conversation about the value and stimulating effect of art, the privilege of recording inside a museum and the most rewarding moments of making music together after over two decades.
