185. "Lisztomania" by Phoenix

I enjoy how this song is musically dark but bright in terms of sound quality. The verse singing phases are so long, leaping great intervals and finding so many great ideas in the process.

The drumming throughout is very fun, but maybe the best part of the whole song is where the drums cut out, leaving a three-measure bridge progression. When the drums re-enter to accent the chords, the cymbal is so deep and ringing. Such a beautiful sound. 

How can this song no longer be new? Time is merciless. Ask Franz Liszt.
