Singles of the year: #79

79. Run Run Run – Phoenix

The second Phoenix album initially underwhelmed – so slight, so inconsequential, so gossamer thin – until a) a support slot with the Scissor Sisters fleshed the new material out and helped slot it into place and b) the hot, sunny weather arrived – at which point, tracks like these – languid, yet taut – became the soundtrack to the summer.
