Phoenix – S.O.S. In Bel Air

In terms in pure pop this is distilled to 100% purity. Like what you’d get if you took the extremities of goodness from Two Door Cinema Club and added a zing of extra special something. Of course Phoenix have been treading water since the turn of the century with voices that don’t sound at all as if they had originated in Versailles. Malajube are close kin and as such the bulbous plumes of melody cloud that so fuels ‘S.O.S. In Bel Air’ from last year’s ‘Bankrupt!’ don’t come as too much of a surprise. What is so joyous though is that Thomas Mars and his cohorts can so conspire to produce such consistency a decade and half into a career full of similar moments. If you are this good then greatness is pretty much guaranteed. KD
