Three official singles were released from the album: " Entertainment", " Trying to Be Cool", and "S.O.S. As of 2014, the album has sold 152,127 copies in United States. It debuted at number 3 on the French Albums Chart, number 4 on the Billboard 200 (selling 50,000 copies ), and number 14 on the UK Albums Chart. The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics upon release.
The album was produced by the band with Philippe Zdar and was recorded in a span of two years at Studios d'Herbécourt and Motorbass Studios in Paris, France, and at Oscilloscope Laboratories in New York City, United States. It is the band's first studio album since Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which was released four years earlier in 2009. The album was released on 19 April 2013 by Loyauté, Glassnote Records and Atlantic Records.
It was a great experience to be able to hang out with them, hear them play some of my favorite music, and learn that they're genuinely thoughtful, creative, down-to-earth guys, which makes me like them even more.Bankrupt! is the fifth studio album by French indie pop band Phoenix. all that, and no wine or cigarettes were involved. As if that weren't enough, they gave me my choice of an older song to hear, as well, and I chose one that Mars sang with the band Air for the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. With seemingly great ease, they played a unique version of one of my favorite songs from the new album. The guys sounded just as good acoustically, too. They weren't encouraging people to break the law, of course, but did want to capture the feel of flying down the road with music blasting. I've come close to getting speeding tickets because the songs make me want to move so fast, and when I talked to Thomas Mars and Christian Mazzalai about my trouble with the law, they laughed and said that was their intention. As is the case with its predecessors, the new Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is filled with perfect little pop gems, and sounds great at high volume. Phoenix has since become a staple of our musical diets. Ironically, she ended up introducing me to Phoenix, even though I'd given her the CD. She'd been playing it non-stop ever since I gave it to her. About a week later, she was thanking me profusely for the CD and telling me how great it was. It was a last-minute gift for a friend of mine from Arizona. A few years ago, I picked up a Phoenix album on a whim, based on the band's name.
