Born out of restlessness and a steady hunt for inspiration,\n_Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix_ is a career-defining album,\nfilled with the band’s signature melding of synthetics and\norganics, sharp, danceable rhythms, infectious choruses with a\nconsiderable dose of aural panache, and candy-colored pop\nsensibilities.

\n\n

These songs are some of their most exuberantly playful, yet also\nsome of the most complex they’ve recorded, more layered and\nintensely propulsive than previous efforts. Indeed, Wolfgang\nAmadeus Phoenix is nothing short of elative, creating what is\nsure to be the soundtrack to late-night summer adventures all over\nthe globe.

\n

Staying true to what makes Phoenix so special, a sense of\nwhimsical breeziness envelopes these songs, as if they’ve sprung\nfully-formed from the band’s collective creative hands in a state\nof utter pop perfection.
