Phoenix have returned with their first new song in over three years, "Identical".
After teasing the new track over the past week, Phoenix have finally released "Identical" as their first new outing since their 2017 LP Ti Amo.
The band write on Twitter that the song is released in memory of their late collaborator Philippe Zdar, and will feature on the soundtrack for upcoming film On The Rocks, which stars Bill Murray, Rashida Jones, and Marlon Wayans, and is directed by Sofia Coppola.
