New Music from Phantogram!

Posted at 3:44 PM on December 15, 2009 by Melanie Walker (1 Comments)

Phantogram.jpg Phantogram is a duo made up of Sarah D. Barthel and Joshua M. Carter of Saratoga Springs, NY. They've recently signed to Barsuk Records, home of Death Cab For Cutie, Rilo Kiley and Mates Of State, and their debut release Eyelid Movies will be released in the US Febuary 2nd, 2010. Barthel has described their sound as a mix of organic and electronic sounds saying, "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. How I explain it to the customers who come into the restaurant where I work is that we sound like a combination of Kanye West and Radiohead." Check out a track from Phantogram titled "When I'm Small" below. Reminds me a bit of the downbeat tunes of the early to mid 90's from folks like Poe, Portishead or Folk Implosion.
