Riff: Phoenix – “Entertainment”

Jun 14, 2013

What you want and what you do to me/I’ll take the trouble, let you have my mind

from Entertainment lyrics by Phoenix

Phoenix have always been a bit ahead of the dry-drums, indie-dance-pop pack in songwriting. They outdo even themselves with this oriental-riff adaptation, the soundtrack to the realization of their societal worth as mere ‘entertainment,’ and their wish to escape it and be ‘alone;’ [LISTEN].
