I get kinda annoyed by the miscategorisations of Phoenix albums: United is not synth-pop. There’s hardly any synth on that album and it’s too stylistically diverse to be categorised. Alphabetical is a soul/RnB album not a soft rock album. It’s Never Been Like That = Strokes? Maybe, but it’s a lazy description. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is hard to pin down but there seems to be an electronic influence throughout.
And yes, there is a constant Phoenix-ish aesthetic throughout their albums. But not ‘the exact same sound’.
