Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix by Phoenix

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Standout Tracks:

Lisztomania

1901

Fences

Love Like a Sunset, Pt. II

Lasso

Have I heard this album before today?

Partially!

I really really like this album! Lisztomania and 1901 are some of my favorite songs, but this was my first time listening to the full album, and I enjoyed every second of it!

Do you remember when 21 years was old?

Outside under broken leaves

Last Thursday on my way to work, I listened to wolfgang amadeus phoenix (Phoenix, 2009) from start to finish. It's such a perfect record. I have a lot of fondness for bankrupt! because it'd just been released when I fell in love with Phoenix. But I must admit Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is pretty incredible, nothing but bangers.

And of course it has what's probably my favourite Phoenix song : Rome. I love it so much that I listen to it in small doses, as if I'm afraid it'll make me feel too much. With Rome in my hears I'm feel like I'm 14 again, but also like I've lived through centuries of sadness.

Okay so I've done it. Another pirate remix inspired very heavily by the Hans Zimmer Pirates of the Caribbean sound.

This is for a contest. The goal is not to win the contest, but to make people go "Why does this album art have pirates on it? Why is it marked as classical?" Basically I'm confident that I'll have submitted the only pirate shanty remix.

Y'all. The plan is to turn this into a really dramatic like....Hans Zimmer Pirates of the Caribbean remix and call it "1701". Previews soonish hopefully.

Bet you didn’t have that on your 2024 bingo card.

[stephaniedola]

ive determined that the ideal study music is albums that are mid at best overall but have a few good tracks on them, on repeat

that way you can trick your brain into wanting to study every time you listen to that album, but you're not ruining any music you actually listen to because the album was mid anyway and you never listened to it

[lcdsoundsystem]

for your consideration as the aural opposite of humbug: vampire weekend’s self-titled?

anon you're so right !!

[seekers-who-are-lovers]

Forever is a long, long time / When you've lost your way / Trying to follow your ideal / Oh, sorry but your so-called life / It is such a waste…

Yeah…

Constant Companions Closeup #8: LIAISON

(also on spotify!)

Welcome once more to the Constant Companions Closeups - a series of in-depth dives into the songs off of my latest album, Constant Companions! After the nightmarish tiktok voice brainrot of Aggrandicize, it's finally time to talk about Lesbian I mean Liaison!

---

...It's a love song.

...

That's about it.

Oh you want me to say more okay

I don't really write simple and straightforward love songs much!! Love is absolutely a core aspect of my songwriting, and I love a lot of people and a lot of things, but even when I invoke romantic love, it's usually not entirely literal? If that makes sense.

But, like, c'mon. I'm a lesbian. I love women with the best of 'em. Sometimes I just wanna be gay! Especially on an album as fraught with emotional moments as Constant Companions is, I feel like it's really important to have at least one simple moment to settle on.

...

oh you want me to say More

Well okay. I like yuri. I like vocal synths. And maybe my himejoshi ass likes making certain combinations of vocal synths do gay shit lesbian style.

lets move on already

I love the band Phoenix. I'll be completely honest and tell you that I first heard their music when Lisztomania and 1901 came out as DLC for Rock Band 2 but hey that's how a lot of people my age found a lot of music when they were younger probably. Their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix was one of a couple major sonic touchstones for how I wanted Constant Companions to sound - bouncy, warm, synthetic-yet-natural, with multiple shades of idiosyncrasies - but Liaison in particular was a pretty bold-faced attempt to directly evoke their music, at least in terms of arrangement.

Now, I'm not well-read or French enough to fully match the bright-eyed abstract lyricism or historical knowledge of their songwriting completely - but I can be Jamie Paige about it, reference Arthurian legend, and quote another freaking song I wrote

🤼‍♀️, also known as :women_wrestling:, isn't the gayest song I've ever written, but it's certainly up there, and it gets referenced pretty heavily in Liaison. Maybe this is the aftercare once they're done in the ring? Maybe there are more complicated layers hiding beneath the saccharine sweetness of these hopeless lovers...

Maybe I'm just gay. Ever consider that, huh?

That being said, for reasons I won't go into here, there's some amount of the vocal synth fandom that interpret Solaria and ANRI as being in a sort of toxic embittered lesbian situationship... which does make the layers a little more interesting... though if you ask me? I think lesbians deserve to be happy. What about that you shithead

Finally, because I have a moral obligation to make sure you've all seen this, please enjoy ODDEEO's very personal and moving take on Liaison.

Of course, let me know if you have any other questions below!! Otherwise, I'll be back tomorrow to talk about the most transgender song I've ever written - Object of Affection!
