Biography

French electronic pop band from Versailles (Yvelines, West suburb of Paris) formed in 1997. Thomas Croquet (aka [a=Thomas Mars], vocals), Frederic Moulin (aka [a=Deck D'Arcy], bass), and Christian Mazzalai (guitars) were the original trio who would become known as Phoenix. Mazzalai's older brother Laurent Mazzalai (aka [a550175] aka Branco) joined the trio when his band broke up in 1995 (see [a=Darlin']), and two years later they called themselves Phoenix. At this point they were still making rock music without the synth-rock sounds, and released a single on their own label [l=Ghettoblaster]. Shortly there-after, they were signed to the Paris-based [l=Source]. While there, they got aquainted with label-mates [a=AIR], and were the backing band for a number of TV appearances. From this connection, Phoenix created their first French house track in 1999, "Heatwave." This was the precursor to their debut album, "United". From this, they appeared on a number of compilations, but went on a creative hiatus until 2004.

LYRICS

So sentimental
Not sentimental no!
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling I'm down and lonely
When the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let do let do let jugulate do let do let do

Let's go slowly, discouraged,
Distant from other interests
On your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
That's with the fortunate only
No I gotta be someone else
These days it comes it comes it comes
it comes it comes and goes

Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
like a riot, like a riot, oh!
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses

Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage
On this precious weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Do let do let do let jugulate do let do let do

Lets go slowly, discouraged,
We'll burn pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes it comes it comes
it comes it comes and goes

Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
like a riot, like a riot, oh!
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
