Phoenix is undeniably my favorite musical act this year and just about everything they’re involved with is fascinating and interesting. The same can be said of this film by Guillaume Delaperriere that looks into the 20 tracks that have changed the lives of the Phoenix band members. I love how their influences are so varied. I’m convinced that that’s one of the reasons why they’re such a solid band.
The video is long, so if you can’t watch it all, I suggest you bookmark this link for viewing later.
I’m not sure what this says about the band, but I actually prefer the 8-bit versions of MGMT songs made by fans over at 8bitcollective. There are only a handful at the moment, but it sounds like MGMT tunes are relatively easy to duplicate using 8-bit tunes while still preserving the overall feel of the original song.
Apparently, a lot of songs use the same 4 chord progressions, making for a pretty dull video explaining how a lot of your favorite hits are actually composed of the same notes. Thanks Denise!
