French titans Phoenix have long been tight with the dance music world, and their new project depends on that connection. The band’s most recent album was Alpha Zulu, which came out in 2022. Since then, they’ve collaborated with people like Beck, Pusha T, and Kavinsky, and they gave a triumphant performance at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Now, Phoenix have joined forces with Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon, the veteran French dance producers known collectively as Braxe + Falcon, to launch a new project called UFO. It has nothing to do with the ’70s metal band UFO, but it does have something to do with actual unidentified flying objects.
