"Lisztomania" is the excellent first single from Phoenix's tightly wound Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The song's fancy video, directed by Antoine Wagner, finds the French band hanging out before a concert, and then melting faces with the song's new wave live. The band played the song live on SNL a few weeks back, and it's still shocking that one, this kind of music organized through a Strokes-ian lens can sill amaze, and two, that the band can replicate this so effortlessly in a live setting.
