AOTD - Phantogram - Eyelid Movies



Phantogram is an American electronic rock duo from Greenwich, New York, founded in 2007, consisting of guitarist Josh Carter and keyboardist Sarah Barthel.

"We wanted to incorporate all our own influences and created our own sound that's a combination of Serge Gainsbourg, sampling and Detroit hip-hop. In interviews, the band has described their sound concisely under the genre of "street beat, psych pop."

This first album from the new york duo is a promising start, Full of odd arrangements, brassy samples, plenty of beats, indie roots, hip hop roots all thrown together to make an intriguing combination. The first two singles "Mouthful of Diamonds" and "When I'm Small" are both strong , Mouthful offering a blend of synthesizer and enticing female vocals, while When I'm Small has a more dance,trip hop kinda beat to it and is a stand out of mine on the album. Other stand out's include a 3rd single Running from the Cops and As Far As I Can See. A talented duo that looks to have a bright future, there album is currently available online with an expected Feb 2010 street date.
