Oh, how we adore Phoenix, high-priests of Parisian easy listening and a band that recognizes the difference between louche and sleazy. Word was that, after the comparative failure of their last record, the newie would cleave to a conventional indie aesthetic. Well, the guitars are a little bit more fizzly. In all other respects: as classy as high tea at served on a silver tray.
