While Phoenix has yet to announce a new album, many signs reveal one is on the way. Most notably, when the group released the single “Alpha Zulu” last week, a press release noted Phoenix is “currently in the studio finishing up” their next LP, which has yet to be officially announced beyond that. Now, they’re getting further into this sort of pre-album album cycle by dropping a video for “Alpha Zulu,” a fun clip that makes used of deepfake technology to animate people in classics works of art into singing and nodding their heads along to the song.
Furthermore, the band has also announced a run of tour dates for later this year, which run in North America from September to October before heading to Europe in November. Porches will be opening on the North American dates.
