French phenoms Phoenix have yet to exhaust their 2009 breakout album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Last week, they made the multitracks available for fan-made remixes. Now, they’re giving an intimate look at the recording of the album with a series of online mini-documentaries. Shot in the studio, the clips provide new insight on the band’s writing and recording process on the album that elevated them to international hit status (hint: no comfy chairs).

Each track gets two videos, with Phoenix and producer Philippe Zdar providing separate commentary. The webisodes will be posted over the next two weeks.
