724) De Staat - Phoenix

De Staat is a celebrated Dutch band that had won many awards for its unique sound and alternative style. It is famously versatile, with their funkier tracks often being compared to the likes of Beck, Outkast, and Kelis, and their more alternative-sounding material to bands such as Radiohead, Muse, and Everything Everything. The founder of the group is lead vocalist Torre Florim, whose vocal tone is of notable quirk and iconic quality, and on this piece, he is definitely channeling some dark Jonathan Higgs/Matt Bellamy vibes. "Phoenix", which deals with the issue of "humanity having paid too little notice to the power of the elements and now having to face a burning world", is characterized by soft instrumentation next to blaring, chaotic synths. The unstable nature of the song's instrumental aspect and the crazy, apocalyptic visuals showing Florim drifting into a bubbling volcano service "Phoenix"'s meaning just as much as its lyrical content. Certainly, this is one of the most artistic and special music productions we've discovered lately.
