Phoenix have announced their sixth studio album. It’s called Ti Amo, and it’s out June 9 via Glassnote. In a new New York Times article, guitarist Laurent Brancowitz described the vibe of the album as “summer and Italian discos.” Ti Amo was recorded in late 2014 after the release of Bankrupt! in 2013. According to the NYT article, the band holed up in “an old opera house near the Pompidou Center, in the heart of Paris,” installing recording gear in the space to do so. The news follows the band’s announcement of a world tour, which was previewed with a teaser that was soundtracked by new music. Then, they teased a new song called “J-Boy” (which opens the new album) and shared a snippet of new music in a Calvin Klein ad.
