The Making of SIK/TENG Episode 1: Wolfgang Amadeus by Phoenix
Selected album: Wolfgang Amadeus by Phoenix (2009)
For our first SIK/TENG episode, we wanted to select an album that represented what our creative collaboration was all about, and Wolfgang Amadeus felt like the perfect fit.
The album's light, bright and dance-y vibe evoked feelings of a summer spent Parisian-style, and reminded us of magical, colour-drenched beachside sunsets shared with friends.
