New Phoenix, "1901"

Those crazy Parisians, Phoenix, have a new album coming out months from now (May).  In the meantime, we've got this track, "1901" to hold us over.  I wouldn't draw a direct comparison to Daft Punk just yet, but well, it's very synth-oriented, and seems destined for the club scene.  Plus, Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear loves it.  He even said as much on his Twitter page.  Sounds like reason enough to me.  You can grab the track below, courtesy of Stereogum.  Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (corny) is out May 25th via EMI/Source/Astralwerks.
