Le Concorde: Poor Man's Phoenix?
Not even sure what that means since we love both bands, but with Le Concorde's release of Suite last month at least the initial comparisons to Phoenix are warranted.
Get a few listens in and you'll find plenty of differences but a shared appreciation for the earnest pop harmonies available only to those with the courage to croon. And like a dumbass I thought Le Concorde's multi-instrumentalist Stephen Becker, Ph.D was a fellow Frenchman (also once told Kevin Barnes "for some reason I thought Of Montreal were Canadian").
But Le Concorde rock the harmonica hard:
Le Concorde - I Want You Back (from Suite)
Le Concorde - Parallel Lives (from Universe and Villa)
Other Conchords
Et appréciez maintenant les stylings musicaux parisiens de Phoenix:
Phoenix - Long Distance Call
Phoenix - Long Distance Call (25 Hours A Day Remix)
