excerpt from last.fm: Formed in 1999, Phoenix became an underground hit with the loungy, mellow and unpretentious sound heard on their 2000 debut album United. Their biggest hits, “Too Young” and “If I Ever Feel Better” (major hit in France) propelled the album to enough success to grant the band a contract for a second album, Alphabetical, released in 2004. The four Parisians have since released a new album called It’s Never Been Like That.
