Phantogram

This song has been hearted out all over the place on the hype machine in the last week, but I'm mentioning it again, just in case you missed it. Phantogram is an electro-rock duo from Greenwich Village consisting of Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter, and their sound varies from shoegaze to indie pop to experimental. Their latest album, Eyelid Movies, dropped last month and was named as such because, as Barthel said, "We ran across a description of dreams somewhere that used the phrase ‘eyelid movies’ – and it really struck us both as something that fit our music.” Carter added, “Daydreams, the spots you see moving around when your eyes are closed tight, and even the shapes you see in the world all surface when you feel your way through a Phantogram song.” The track below is thickly beat-driven and contains ghost-song electronics, so give it a listen.
