Phoenix

So I've had this mp3 of French band Phoenix "Everything is Everything" since like 4 years ago and all of a sudden, all of my indie-music-freak friends are hyping them up as if they're the new Animal Collective or something.

Unlike Animal Collective, Phoenix sounds more like a combination of Hot Hot Heat, Black Kids, Shout Out Louds, and, really, any fist-pumping indie band.

Listen up and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Good summertime music. A counterpoint to my obsession with Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest (which you HAVE to check out).
