Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, SNL Appearance

Phoenix ready their forth studio album by appearing on SNL

French electro-pop rockers Phoenix will release their newest album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix on May 25, 2009. Before that date, we'll get to see some of the new tunes showcased on April 4th's episode of Saturday Night Live (with host Seth Rogen). According to the band's blog, we'll get to hear the first two tracks off the new LP, "Lisztomania" and "1901".

If you can't wait until Saturday, you can go to the band's official website to hear/download "1901". You can also follow the link at the end of this post. To hear "Lisztomania", watch the very cool video at the end of the post featuring snippets from The Breakfast Club, Footloose, and other great '80s classics. As for the rest of the album, all I can say is that it's so worth buying - the whole album is quite amazing. Enjoy! (and don't forget to watch SNL this week)
