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.
Only four letters but a very vast musical range, as well as, legacy behind them; KAZU, as in Kazu Makino from iconic shoegaze/ dream pop group Blonde Redhead is releasing her debut as a solo artist. The singer with Japanese roots has been around the industry for a while and 'Adult Baby' combines old experiences with fresh freedom to create.
