For the last 2 weeks, Phoenix have been posting these “making of…” videos on their blog, dissecting the genesis of the album that topped my Best Of 2009 list. The cool thing is that for every song you get 2 commentaries: one by the band and one by Zdar, who not only mixed the album but also served as sort of guru/co-producer.

The clips for the 9 songs are up on their site now, make sure you go check them out. Work on your French.
