"Lasso" - Phoenix

I have been a Phoenix fan for a couple of years now, and purchased the Wolfgang Amadeus album not long after its release in May of 2009. At first I was addicted to Lsiztomania and 1901. I mean, seriously addicted. Truthfully, I may still be. But, those addictions seem to be subsiding and are now being replaced by another track from this disc, called "Lasso". I really liked this song when I first bought the CD but I was blinded by the other two tracks, and didn't give it equal opportunity. Now, however, I just can't get enough of this song. It has the funkiest, craziest bass line, that I have to bob my head to, and the vocals have such a unique rhythm and style. The chorus is so catchy that I found myself singing it all day long - even in those moments when I zone out and there shouldn't be anything going on in the ol' noggin (you know the moments I'm talking about!)

When of the more impressive facts I'd like to share about Phoenix is that they are from France, but sing all of their songs in English, and do it in a very American way. No accents, great use of the English language. I'm totally jealous. I seriously envy people who are bilingual.

If you haven't heard this band, check 'em out. They have a sound that just about everyone can enjoy!

ps. Soon enough I'll be posting something I don't like, just be patient.
