Phoenix have been working on the new record "Bankrupt" since 2011 and recently revealed that it was recorded on the same console as 1982 album, 'Thriller'. Guitarist Laurent Brancowitz bought the Harrison 4032 console on eBay for $17,000 (£10,826). Singer Thomas Mars said the band purchased the console because they "liked the idea of working with a consecrated artefact, as well as having something strange upon which to fixate between albums".
Singer Thomas Mars said: "The most mysterious part to me was that no one else - no nerd or music engineer or memorabilia freak - seemed to want it," he added. The console was shipped to Paris for the recording sessions for 'Bankrupt!', and the group originally toyed with naming the record 'Alternative Thriller'.
