Listening to Phoenixis like listening to good advice. Their songs are ingrained with experience and a certain perspective that comes from never taking yourself too seriously. Or maybe, it’s just the simplicity that comes from singing in a second language.

It’s Never Been Like That is the band’s follow up to the cult-status United and the cool and consistent Alphabetical. It is a starry-eyed jangle that was made with live performance in mind, more straight-up indie than electro-pop, and with the exception of ‘Consolation Prizes’, it is definitely more head nodding than fistpumping.

They say that everything happens in threes, but let's hope that Phoenix continue to produce great albums for at least a little while longer.
