NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: Phoenix
Loading...
Uploaded by nprmusic on May 24, 2010
The sounds of the group's best-selling 2009 album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix are so ubiquitous to viewers of TV commercials that they produce a Pavlovian impulse to purchase portable music players and luxury automobiles. But at this Tiny Desk Concert, instantly recognizable hits such as "1901" and "Lisztomania" were stripped down and reassembled as sweetly shambling acoustic numbers.

Look, I love these guys, but they may have taken the "elegantly disheveled" hair a bit too far. Somebody throw a comb at these guys.

I love how noticeable his french accent is when he talks, but its gone when he sings

@danthemantompkins LOL that had me laughing for the first whole song

@IDIEININIIS never said i wasn't...

@danthemantompkins By judging the singer on something so silly, you're actually the one giving off the impression of being at a junior high dance.

somebody force the singer to hold a guitar or something so he doesn't look like he's at a junior high dance...great music though!
