Possibly the best of the countless Phoenix remixes to emerge this year, and definitely the best thing Devendra has done in a while. Dev says:
“We LOVE and have LOVED Phoenix since Alphabetical, and have wanted to do more than just ogle at their awesomeness for quite some time. With the release of their luminary Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix we got the chance to un-floccinaucinihilipilificate our dreams and with awesome, oceanic glee, we took Rome for a ride…”

Now if we could hurry up and get those those alleged Animal Collective + Grizzly Bear versions…

wow, this is beautiful! of course i wouldn't have expected anything less from devendra. definitely my favorite phoenix remix.
I've always felt that the breakdown in "Rome" was one of the best parts of Wolfgang… and this remix really captures the soft beauty of it.
What a nice take for Devendra, glad to see him expanding into new territory. http://www.twilightfrequencies.com
Really ace job, Devendra. I've always loved both him and Phoenix.
Does anyone know if it's true that he's playing under a pseudonym with Little Joy at Webster Hall in a few days?
Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear suck…
great remix, really beautiful and made it much more delicated…
how do i download this track? it is stunning.
just right click/save as
I think that both Grizzly Bear and
Animal Collective are terrible bands that are hyped. This tune is staggering. I have been waiting to use that word all day.
