Phoenix Have Released A New Track Called ‘Alpha Zulu’

The song marks the French band’s first new music in two years. The title and lyric ‘Alpha Zulu’ come from a phrase frontman Thomas Mars heard a pilot repeating over the radio during a flight as the plane hit turbulence. The urgency of the situation and phrase stuck with Mars and inspired the track.

According to a release, the band is currently in the studio finishing up their first new album in five years, and follow-up to 2017’s ‘Ti Amo’. ‘Alpha Zulu’ is also said to foreshadow the sound of Phoenix’s upcoming album, hinting at “bold new sonic horizons.”
