this news is pretty awesome, isn’t it? if you preorder the deluxe edition of phoenix’s bankrupt!, you’ll receive a second disc of 71 demos and sketches. granted, they’re all under a minute long, but there’s gotta be plenty incentive to buy an album a month from now after it’s been out online for a couple of weeks.

would someone care to explain to me phoenix’s new music video for “entertainment?” i get the part where koreans live and sing along to the catchy bankrupt! single, who doesn’t? but the k-drama story, across space and time, and with k-popstars, gangsters and the military? makes my head spin trying to decipher it all. watch it above and be on the lookout for bankrupt! on april 23rd.

yay for new and officially released phoenix material, right?! after premiering this track on zane lowe’s bbc1 radio show, the band released their lyric video for the clip, which can be seen above.

i could detail phoenix’s new album bannkrupt! for you myself, but it’s much cuter to go to the band’s website for a “handwritten” statement from the french band themselves regarding the release date, album art, and tracklist. also, you can see from the signatures, that bassist deck d’arcy is not a fan of cursive script. you know they don’t even teach it in grade schools anymore?

you know that phoenix tour documentary that debuted last week in france and germany with no foreseeable u.s. release – from a mess to the masses? well, you can watch the whole 53 minute film on vimeo now.
from the pre-release of smash “1901″ to the sold out u.s. tour that followed their breakthrough album wolfgang amadeus phoenix, the band are followed by filmmakers sorriano franciso and antoine wagner, who were nice enough to subtitle the english bits for all you french-speakers.
