Fast train to Phoenix
The band - in town for last weekend's Good Vibrations festival - have been recording with Byron Bay percussionist, performer and composer, Michael Askill, who’s a founding member of Steve Reich collaborators Synergy Percussion and Principal Percussionist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for a number of years.
According to Phoenix vocalist Thomas Mars, the band's next album will sound pretty different to their guitar-driven 2009 effort Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
After using words such as "nostalgic", "futuristic", "experimental" and "minimal" to describe the new material, he went on to - somewhat cryptically - compare it to France's high-speed train, the TGV.
Lost in translation? Maybe...
