Phoenix have shared a brand new song called “Alpha Zulu.” It marks the French group’s first new music in two years, following “Identical,” their contribution to the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola’s movie On the Rocks. The title and lyric “Alpha Zulu” come from a phrase frontman Thomas Mars heard a pilot repeat during a turbulent flight in a storm. Give “Alpha Zulu” a listen below.
Phoenix’s last studio album was 2017’s Ti Amo. The following year, they shared a collection of demos from that album’s recording sessions.
In October 2019, Phoenix released the book Phoenix: Liberté, Égalité, Phoenix!, which is described as a “superfan’s chronicle of the evolution of a band” that includes selections from their personal archive of photography, lyrics, and more. That same year, Phoenix’s song “Lisztomania” got a huge bump on streaming services after a video in which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dances to the track went viral.
