Phoenix have shared the latest single from their forthcoming LP Alpha Zulu. The new track is called “Winter Solstice,” and it arrives with a moody visual directed by Warren Fu. Check it out below.
“Winter Solstice” is Phoenix’s only song that they didn’t craft together in the studio. Instead, they wrote it remotely, building from a long loop that Lauren Brancowitz, Christian Mazzalai, and Deck D’Arcy sent to frontman Thomas Mars, who then recorded a stream of consciousness.
Alpha Zulu—the band’s first album in five years—lands November 4 (via Loyauté/Glassnote). Phoenix’s previous full-length was 2017’s Ti Amo. They tracked the new self-produced record at Paris’ Musée des Arts Décoratifs, which is located in the Palais du Louvre. Last month, Phoenix shared the single “Tonight,” which is a duet with Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. Prior to that, they dropped the LP’s title track.
In 2020, Phoenix dropped “Identical,” which appeared in Sofia Coppola’s recent movie On the Rocks. (Coppola and Mars are married.) In 2019, the band released a book, titled Phoenix: Liberté, Égalité, Phoenix!
