Grammy-winning French band Phoenix, known for its transcendent lyrics and scholarly themes set to brilliantly lush orchestrations, brought its inimitable brand of aloof-yet-intimate alt-pop to MTV for an exclusive "Unplugged" performance. Set against a strikingly stark, cinematic white backdrop in a New York City studio (the edge of Hell's Kitchen, to be exact), Phoenix performed an inimitably grand, gripping set to a devoutly rapt audience.
You can watch all of Phoenix's "MTV Unplugged" performance this Monday, June 21. And don't miss a video sneak peek of Phoenix's "Unplugged" performance this Friday, June 18.
