Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

So we christened yesterday "Grizzly Bear Day," partly because we had a lot to post about them, partly because Veckatimest was released, and mostly because internet hysteria is funny... and people were geeking out about that album. But Tuesday is "Album Release Day" for everyone, and that includes Phoenix. And although their Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix won't likely be an "Album of the Year" contender in many people's eyes, it's definitely in the running for a "Top 10" spot, and if their three-song performance on Saturday Night Live is any indication, its clean, polished production and infectious pop hooks will undoubtedly appeal to much larger audience than Veckatimest, Merriweather Post Pavilion, or any other number of critically-acclaimed albums released this year. Take a listen!!
