27 APRIL 2017 (TORONTO, ON) – Grammy-winning band Phoenix are thrilled to announce their new album, Ti Amo,
set for release on June 9 via Loyaute/Glassnote Records/Universal Music
Canada, the country’s leading music company. The band – comprised of
Thomas Mars (vocals), Laurent Brancowitz (guitar), Christian Mazzalai
(guitar), and Deck D’Arcy (bass) – described creating the album to the New York Times earlier this week – the publication called it “the band’s most unabashedly romantic record yet.” Ti Amo’s first single, a brilliant, shimmering explosion called “J-Boy” was Zane Lowe’s World Record on Beats1 Radio and can be heard HERE.Ti Amo is Phoenix’s first album since 2013’s critically lauded Bankrupt!. Produced by the band and recorded at La Gaîté Lyrique (Paris) with the help of long time collaborator Pierrick Devin, the band describes Ti Amo as “an album about simple pure emotions: love, desire, lust and innocence, it’s also a record about our European, Latin roots, a fantasized version of Italy: a lost paradise made of eternal Roman summers (hyper-light, hyper-clarity, pistachio gelato), juke-boxes on the beach, Monica Vitti and Marcello Mastroiani, fearless desire and Antique marble statues.”
Phoenix have announced an extensive tour this spring in support of Ti Amo, including a headline set at Gornor’s Ball in New York City and a stop in Toronto for Field Trip Festival leading into album release week. The band will also be playing a very special show at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on June 15 with Canada’s own indie troubadour Mac DeMarco supporting. A comprehensive list of dates is available on the band’s website.
Phoenix will be playing “J-Boy” for the first time on television Tuesday May 2 when they debut it on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
