Editor's note

Phoenix, the Parisian pop band with staying power

A French group that makes synth-driven pop with melodies that just stick.

For a good sense of Phoenix, start with "Lisztomania" and "If I Ever Feel Better." They frame the band's knack for melody and synth-pop clarity.

Phoenix has been putting out clean, straightforward pop since their debut album "United" in 2000. Songs like "Lisztomania" from 2004's "Alphabetical" helped them reach listeners far beyond Paris. They work with synth-driven styles, and tunes like "If I Ever Feel Better" show their range within that sound.

The band formed in Paris in 1999 with brothers Thomas and Christian Mars, Deck d'Arcy, and Laurent Brancowitz. They've kept releasing albums over the years, including "Ti Amo" in 2013, and their sound has settled into something consistent rather than chasing trends.
