EYE WEEKLY spoke to bassist Deck D’Arcy about <em>Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix</em> (the group’s fourth and most sophisticated album to date), personal expectations, the French musique scene and being trop triste. Read this aloud in a thick French accent. <br/><br/><strong>The new album sounds amazing. But Pitchfork called you a “bona fide ‘should be bigger’ band.” </strong><br/>I didn’t read it, actually. But yeah, maybe. <br/><br/><strong>Should you guys be more famous than you actually are? </strong><br/>Well, popularity is relative. I don’t know what it is in English, but it’s OK for us because it’s what we deserve. We are very happy because we have a kind of success that gained little by little. And it’s the best for us because our lives haven’t changed, and we are still doing the music the way we want. <br/><br/><strong>You don’t want to be like Coldplay?</strong><br/>I don’t know, you know, Coldplay. I only listen to dance music so it’s hard to compare. Success can have a bad influence on what you do, but some bands handle it very well. But it is not for us. <br/><br/><strong>There are many remixes of “Lisztomania” and “1901.”</strong><br/>Yeah it’s fun to listen. I didn’t listen to all of them, because there are too many. There’s also a really shitty one. <br/><br/><strong>You come from France, but your lyrics are in English. Do you think Phoenix sound more European or American?</strong><br/>When we were growing up, we tried to listen to as much French and European music as we could. And I think working in Paris, we’ve been far away from the coolness and rock of Brooklyn and London. Paris is like the third world of rock ’n’ roll — there’s nothing there. John Lennon said that “French rock is like English wine.” It’s a bit like that, actually. <br/><br/><strong>Doesn’t that give you more creative freedom?</strong><br/>There’s a chance, because the emptiness helps you grow. We don’t have a big heritage of anything so we can do whatever we want. We try to challenge ourselves in that way, not being part of the normal scene or whatever, but there’s not a whole bunch of bands around us that sound very similar. Maybe that’s not true but that’s what we think. I think this is part of the French attitude. <br/><br/><strong>Some critics have compared your guitar work to The Strokes.</strong><br/>It’s a band we like, but I don’t think we sound the same. The Strokes are very melancholy. There’s a sadness in our music hidden behind the excitation, but we always think of music in this way.</p> <p><a href="http://www.eyeweekly.com/interview/article/62799" target="_blank">http://www.eyeweekly.com/interview/article/62799</a></p>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/507805254http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/507805254Fri, 09 Apr 2010 01:18:46 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcyinterview<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0hmwwv8mJ1qb20leo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/502333057http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/502333057Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:55:44 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0h08dHVwJ1qzljdvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://ilovephoenix.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">ilovephoenix</a>)</p>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/502283259http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/502283259Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:33:17 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzv9bsOMpV1qb20leo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/473744444http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/473744444Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:55:01 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vjGUJMcXCF8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/473727547http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/473727547Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:47:05 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kztx6pzSws1qb20leo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/472148194http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/472148194Thu, 25 Mar 2010 01:35:13 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kztx5dqQF01qb20leo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/472147334http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/472147334Thu, 25 Mar 2010 01:34:23 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzpwfrYVgn1qb20leo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/468968383http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/468968383Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:03:44 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzpj3cciYj1qb20leo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It’s sideways, I know :(</p>http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/466620741http://fuckyeahdeckdarcy.tumblr.com/post/466620741Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:40:24 -0700phoenixdeck d'arcy
