Thomas & Christian from Phoenix talk Matt through the pivotal songs that have shaped them and explain how emerging alongside Daft Punk and Cassius helped them define their sound. The late nineties saw in incredible generation of French artists move to the forefront, and Phoenix have shifted from cult Indie darlings to stadium fillers, with hit albums and a steady stream of soundtrack work over a twenty year career.
