Phoenix Premiere Video For “Lisztomania,” Announce Tour Dates

Phoenix‘s new song, “Lisztomania,” comes with a history lesson. With a title that name-checks Franz Liszt, the Hungarian composer and pianist of the Romantic era, we’re not entirely sure what the term “Lisztomania” might imply. A boundless love for Liszt’s music and performance style? An incurable affliction of the mind? A penchant for wandering around outside of the Franz Liszt Museum with an inflatable zeppelin which bears your albums name? (If we’re left to judge the meaning of the term based on the song’s video alone, we’d put our money on the latter.)
The video for “Lisztomania” was directed by Antoine Wagner and produced by Gangfilms.
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix will be released May 25th.
