Album Review: Phoenix - Bankrupt!

By Jacob Webb | Published: May 5, 2013

What exactly constitutes a festival “headliner” hasn’t really been an issue until recently, but no artist has ever raised more skepticism regarding their headlining slot at Coachella 2013 than Phoenix. Sure, there was a Tumblr dedicated to collecting tweets from people who were unaware of the Stone Roses’ existence, but music journalists at Stereogum, Grantland,Read more...
