History

edit

Formation and early years

edit

Phoenix was conceived in the 1990s when vocalistThomas Mars,bassist Deck d'Arcy, and guitarist Chris Mazzalai, who were all friends in school, started playing together as a "garage band"based out of Mars's house inVersailles.In 1995, Laurent Brancowitz, Mazzalai's older brother, permanently joined the band on guitar after the end ofDarlin',a short-lived band that Brancowitz had formed withThomas BangalterandGuy-Manuel de Homem-Christo,who would later form electronic duoDaft Punk.[15]Two years later the band took on the name Phoenix and pressed 500 copies of a single on their own label, Ghettoblaster. Shortly after, they were signed to the Paris-based Source Records. Phoenix quickly became well acquainted with labelmatesAirwhen they acted as their backing band on several UK TV appearances.[16]

Phoenix began releasing singles in 1999, the first of these being "Heatwave" and "Party Time", the latter of which would eventually appear on their debut album,United.The single "Too Young" was released on 22 May 2000, along with remixes of the track byZoot WomanandLe Knight Club."Too Young" was the band's first single to chart, reaching No. 97 in France and No. 148 in the UK.

"Beyond containing the band's best, most efficient songwriting, the album also stands apart from the first three studio albums by projecting a cool punch that is unforced," a reviewer commented.[30]VocalistThomas Mars,described as "more bright-eyed and youthful than ever", is more prominent in these songs, harmonising with the instruments. "Maybe they've just hit their stride," the reviewer said.[citation needed]

edit

On 5 April 2011, the band posted a blog update on their website entitled "Songwriting..." withCCTVstills of the band working in a studio.[33]The band said that the album would be a departure from the pop sounds ofWolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,and they were trying to create something more experimental. The same year, vocalistThomas Marsmarried American screenwriter and directorSofia Coppola,whom he had met while producing the soundtrack toThe Virgin Suicidesin 1999.[citation needed]

On 16 January 2012, the band had completed four songs for the fifth album and it was scheduled for a late summer 2012 release, with an autumn tour. Daniel Glass, the founder ofGlassnote Records,stated in relation to the material, "It's very hard to beatWolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,but this could be revolutionary. "[34]The webpage was updated to display the wordsPluviôse,ThermidorandVendémiaire.Pluviôse,ThermidorandVendémiaireare three of the months of theFrench Republican Calendar(also known as the Revolutionary Calendar[35]).

On 16 January 2013Bankrupt!was announced as the title of the fifth album.[36]The cover depicts a color drawing of a peach next to a peach slice, with a pink flower and two green leaves; the track listing included song titles such as the title track, "S.O.S. in Bel Air", "Bourgeois", and "Oblique City".[37]

On 18 February 2013, the band released "Entertainment", the first single from the album.[44]A music video for the song, directed by Patrick Daughters, was released on 7 March 2013.[45]On 28 March, Phoenix started their 2013 tour inVancouver, British Columbia,at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and performed their first concert in two years—the show's set list included "Sunskrupt!", a song that combines "Bankrupt!" and "Love Like a Sunset".[46][47]Phoenix performed on American television during the next month—on 6 April, Phoenix was the musical guest onSaturday Night Live[48]and performed "Entertainment" and "Trying to Be Cool/Drakkar Noir";[49]on 18 April 2013, the band repeated the two-song set list onJimmy Kimmel Live!.[citation needed]

On 22 April 2013, Phoenix played a London show atShepherd's Bush Empireon the day thatBankrupt!was released. In a review of the performance, music writer Josh Holliday declared: "And along with peace, love and understanding, what the world needs now is a band we can all believe in as one. That band is Phoenix."[39]On 6 May 2013, Phoenix were taped for the thirty-ninth season of live music television seriesAustin City Limits(ACL) at Moody Theatre inAustin, Texas.[50]Terry Likona, executive producer of the show, announced that Phoenix would co-headline the two-weekendAustin City Limits Music Festivalin October 2013, alongside other big acts such asKings of Leon,Wilco,andDepeche Mode.[51][52]

In media articles onBankrupt!after the album's release, Mars provided insight into the circumstances that influenced the creation of the band's fifth album: "At that time, we started talking about success and not music. I guess it was time to protect ourselves and focus on music again." Mars made reference to the period of intensive public attention that occurred in the wake of the Grammy Award-winningWolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,Phoenix's first record to achieve gold certification.[29]

Mars also reflected on the benefits of the band's belated success: "We're lucky that we didn't have a hit single for a while, so when we play live, people are not expecting just one song, and we don't tour as a greatest hits band, which can be sad, I'm sure." In a more general sense, Mars also emphasized the importance of the live setting for Phoenix and its relationship to studio work: "I guess we're perfectionists in the way that when we make an album, we know it's going to last. It's important that it's exactly how we want it to be. But when the record is done, it's all about imperfection. It's all about playing live."[29]

Phoenix also used the Harrison 4032 solid-state recording console, the same console used onMichael Jackson'sThriller,to mixBankrupt!.The console was purchased on eBay and shipped to Paris.Bankrupt!debuted at number 4 on the AmericanBillboard200 albums chart and a Phoenix world tour was completed over a large part of 2013.[citation needed]
