Bonus Eventus give us a stripped down and svelte top 5. Be sure to check out their fantastic debut album released on Dinosaurs in Vietnam
![]()
>> Julian Casablancas - Phrazes For The Young
>> Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
>> White Rabbits - It’s Frightening!
>> Rx Bandits - Mandala
>> Black Lips - 200 Million Thousand
It’s tough to pick one absolute favorite, but if we had to we would probably lean towards Phoenix. The entire record is great pop from the first to last song, and the fact that ‘1901’ and ‘Lisztomania’ were staples on every single party playlist of ours over the summer really solidifies it as one of the best in our minds.
