Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Phoenix

High-gloss French indie pop where staccato guitars and neon synths collide. A masterclass in precise, euphoric songwriting for warm city nights.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate 'windows down, city lights' album that makes everything feel like a movie scene.

A shimmering, euphoric burst of energy tempered by a sophisticated French coolness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive synth hook of 1901 that feels like a sudden burst of light.
The transition from the motorik build of Love Like a Sunset Part I into the acoustic resolution of Part II.
The interlocking, clean guitar riffs in the opening seconds of Lisztomania.
