Phoenix have joined forces with their old friends, the French house duo Braxe + Falcon, to form a new supergroup called UFOs. The sextet has released their debut single, an uplifting track titled “UFO.” Stream it below.
“UFO” features warm synths that build to the fuzzy feelings expressed in the chorus: “I don’t believe in miracles/ But I do believe in UFOs/ So I do believe, I do believe you’re about to call.”
In a press statement, Phoenix and Braxe + Falcon put a new spin on the lyrics by elaborating on their new moniker: “I don’t believe in Miracles but I do believe in UFO: Six friends, one song, infinite memories.” A limited edition 12-inch vinyl of the track is now available at select independent record stores.

Phoenix released their most recent album, Alpha Zulu, in November 2022. Since then, they have recruited Clairo and Pusha T for remixes of tracks from the album and performed with Ezra Koenig and Air during the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony. They also released a new remix of Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” last September, one month after debuting it in Paris.
