French band 'Phoenix' have been releasing great tunes for at least a decade now, but only became international indie rock stars in 2009 with their "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" album. Although, we at Bitter FM can say that we were early believers because we have been playing their 2001 single "If I Ever Feel Better" since we started. We weren't the only believers though, they were still quite popular and toured America well before this album, but this album really did put them on the map. "Lisztomania" was originally a description for the hysteria regarding the fans of Hungarian composer and piano virtuoso Franz Liszt from the 19th century. 'Phoenix' have a unique style of writing and constructing songs and they could possibly be described as modern day virtuosos themselves. Every time I hear this song I am always amazed how unconventional it is, but at the same time, how incredibly well constructed it is.... like, how the fuck did they do that?
