The French band Phoenix is dropping their first full length album in 5 years, set to release November 4th. Today, the band have released Alpha Zulu’s latest single “Tonight,” which features Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. “Tonight” marks the first time Phoenix have ever used a guest vocalist on a song. Alpha Zulu is largely inspired by the band’s late friend and collaborator Philippe Zdar, who died in 2019. “We lost more than ever, almost,” Christian said of Zdar. “We had many moments where we could feel his ideas. Jeté, that’s a word he would say, when you’re throwing something very fast.”
