Phoenix have unveiled 'Goodbye Soleil' - the third track taken from their upcoming new record Ti Amo. Listen below. 

Last month, the French band unveiled the sleazy party title track from the album, which followed their glistening summer comeback tune 'J-Boy'. Now, Thomas Mars and co have taken things down a notch or two and explore their sensitive sides on 'Goodbye Soleil'.

It's a steady romantic cut sprinkled with sparkling synths and funk-inspired guitar. "Let's pretend that I don't care," Mars longingly croons as the song draws to a close. 

The band said that the LP is inspired by "simple, pure emotions: love, desire, lust and innocence" and "a fantasised version of Italy: a lost paradise made of eternal Roman Summers". Whats not to like there? 

Ti Amo - the band's sixth full-length record - is out next week (June 9) and follows 2013's Bankrupt. 

Phoenix are due to play Nos Alive, Bilbao BBK and Glastonbury, where they'll headline the John Peel stage on the Saturday night. They will return to the UK for a headline show at London's Alexandra Palace on September 30.
