Monthly Mix: June 2017

Phoenix say Ti Amo

     As the sunshine continues to pour in, so does the insane amount of quality new music. June is in the rear view mirror, but it left a mammoth-sized heap of fresh tunes.
     French rockers Phoenix are creating a buzz with their new album Ti Amo [June 9, via Glassnote]. Frontman Thomas Mars describes the record as a joyous outlet from the turmoil of their native homeland of France. The ten tracks have a bubbly-synth vibe, and at times reach Italian-disco dance peaks. On the title track "Ti Amo," the band goes into full throttle party mode, while Mars weaves back and forth between English and Italian lyrics. Check them out on their massive world festival tour, with a nice slot at Summer Sonic in Tokyo.
     As the summer continues to roll on, it's refreshing to know the iPods are reloaded with fresh beats. The June Playlist takes a trip through alternative and indie rock, and also makes a good soundtrack for enjoying a day at the beach.
