C’est le groupe français Phoenix! Though the band has been around for many years, they are now just hitting their prime. Thomas Mars’ voice is so incredibly not French sounding! You can clearly tell what he is saying. Compared to their fellow French rockers (i.e. the Teenageers), their voices seem completely American but their music is not. Their music is unique, mixing guitar riffs with a bit of snyth, something many bands have done but for some reason Phoenix does it better and makes it their own.
Not to mention the lead singer sounds a lot like Nate Ruess.
