Why do we like this?
Vintage synthesizers"¦ you've gotta love "˜em. People tend to forget that these keys of yester-years are actually pretty good at what they do. Modern indie/alternative bands are slowly using these behemoths more to create something that's stylistically a bit more different. At this moment, I'm loving Phoenix's album Wolfgang Amadeus (2009), as they infuse contemporary music with the retro appeal of the 80's.

So here's my own take on Phoenix's 1901. I wanted to see if it was possible to create something a bit more bouncy mixing 60's drums, with 70's funk, 80's synth, and 90's guitar. My general influences are drawn from Beck, Feist, Ladyhawke, Chemical Brothers, Portishead, Passion Pit, and Air. - Obscure Sounds
