Video of the Moment #1150: Phoenix

By Mary Chang on Friday, 8th March 2013 at 6:00 pm

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Gallic dance pop heroes Phoenix. The French band will be returning in April with a new album, ‘Bankrupt!’, to be released on Atlantic on the 22nd. Here is the first taster from the new release, called ‘Entertainment’. The accompanying video repurposes communist propaganda, mixed in with a narrative that looks like a so bad it’s good Oriental soap opera. (Trust me, I’ve been sat as a small child through enough bad ones with my grandmother to be able to say this.) Watch it below.
