Laurent Brancowitz (born Laurent Mazzalai)[1] is a musician best known for being one of the guitarists from the French indietronica-pop band, Phoenix.
Brancowitz was in part of a short lived Beach Boys-inspired guitar group called Darlin'. The band consisted of Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and himself. After releasing their songs on Duophonic, a review in the British music magazine Melody Maker called the music "a bunch of daft punk." The band split and Bangalter and Guy-Manuel continued making music under the name Daft Punk. Brancowitz later joined Phoenix, which his younger brother was already in. During live shows, Brancowitz often plays a Fender Bullet.
