Phantogram, GLU

Sometimes a band just comes out of the gate on fire. Phantogram opened its 2010 debut album Eyelid Movies with two absolute banger singles in “Mouthful of Diamonds” and “When I’m Small” set the tone. The New York duo of Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter found an intoxicating way to mix electropop and dream rock and trip hop beats. Stark guitar lines, swelling synth throbs and Barthel’s floating vocal lines built them a substantial fanbase and led to collaborations with the likes of Big Boi, Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips. The band emerges from its pandemic hibernation to finally play tunes off its fourth LP, 2020’s Ceremony, and to support a new expanded edition of Eyelid Movies.
