Phoenix have now taken over Topman CTRL – a new music site that invites a different act each month to take charge and reveal their deepest, darkest influences across music, film, literature and much more.

This month, Phoenix will be waxing lyrical on everything from bubblegum R&B, brotherly love, honey and ‘Thriller’. They have also programmed a gig with one of their favourite artists, Wild Beasts, headlining at The Arches in Glasgow on Tuesday 29th September. Buy tickets here – www.thearches.co.uk

In Thomas’s own words: “Merci Topman CTRL for letting us share the music we love. Expect quiet and loud, fast and slow, sweat and tears.”
