Dear listener, recently I’ve been semi-regularly online gaming (Grim Dawn on Steam) and exchanging musical notes with Tumblr mindful-hempress. In a recent fun exchange, she sent me a video of a fairy girl licking amphibians and tripping balls in the forest. Fresh off her astute recommendation I asked her if she was ‘ready to dance??’ and introduced her for the first time to the music of Phantogram. Having never heard of them, she responded very positively to the music video for their song Fall in Love from their 2013 album Voices (smash play on the track above). Specifically, she praised the voice of lead singer Sarah Barthel and kept on sampling their tracks, I assume, well into the effervescent night. So, it worked on her. Now I ask you, Tumblr. ARE YOU READY TO DANCE!? If the answer is affirmatively YES, YES, YES!!!… scroll down for some more details, you degenerate sicko. If the answer is no, well, then kindly fuck off?? If the answer is middling, read on...

This is a psychedelic pop duo I’ve highly enjoyed for about a decade, and they managed to hook me fairly quickly with their street-beat, synth-heavy tunes. Their music is equal parts batshit crazy and deeply emotional, and they generally manage to hit both extremes on every single one of their albums. A New York band consisting of two pre-school friends, this group found at least a tepid amount of initial success with extensive interest in singles related to their self-titled 2009 EP. A year later, they released their first full length album, Eyelid Movies, which, while not a slam-dunk music-market success, enabled them to set up their foundational roots and original sound. Starting in the mid-2010’s their music started to pop up on the radio, commercials and even video games. Recently, I was playing Grand Theft Auto V and one of their songs randomly started playing as I was cruising around Los Santos. I consider them to be one, if not my favorite electropop act, as they can produce sounds that are both emotionally gritty and hypnotic, all while keeping me interested in what they’re going to do next. Perhaps the best part of music by Phantogram is that no matter what, I always have a hell of a lot of FUN listening to them. Whether I’m trying to decode some of their lyrics, or listening passively in my car to one of their darker tunes, or just sitting at home listening to one of their full-length albums… I can’t get over how much FUN this duo is to listen to and watch. Just below, you’ll find You Don’t Get Me High Anymore from their 2016 album Three. Smash play and as always, enjoy!

Just wanted to point out that I bookended this post with a song about falling in, then out of love. I forgot to mention above that I really enjoy all the tricky wordplay in a lot of their jams. Even if all the lyrics don’t make 100% sense, they still can throw together one hell of a well-constructed poetical verse. I don't really like pop music, but I like Phantogram A LOT.

Miley Cyrus: "Slab Of Butter (Scorpion)"

(feat. Sarah Barthel Of Phantogram)

I'm 'bout to get fucked up, wanna get fucked up?

Fucked up

[x4]

The only laws I obey, the ones I'm makin' for myself

So why you make me play on the rules of someone else?

Self control is not something I'm working on

We fuck, you turn me on, so I can say about you

I feel like a slab of butter that is melting in the Sun

Aggression melts away now that you and me are one

Now that you and me are one

Now that you and me are one

You turn me on [x4]

Nature made a hole and now it's open, full of sweat

Like a scorpion, on fire, stinging myself to death

I get extinguished but it's instinctual

We fuck, you turn me on, is all I can say about you

I feel like a slab of butter that is melting in the Sun

Aggression melts away now that you and me are one

I feel like a slab of butter that is melting in the Sun

Aggression melts away now that you and me are one

Now that you and me are one

Now that you and me are one

You turn me on [x4]

Together with Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Shuman over Zoom video! GRAMMY-nominated musician and multi-instrumentalist Michael Shuman is GLU. The frontman of Mini Mansions and member of Queens of the Stone Age is showing another side of himself with his independent debut EP, MY DEMONS out February 24th. Today’s title track release features Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel and explores how childhood traumas continue to seep into adult life. Emotional explosions emerge in a realm of lo-fi hip-hop with upbeat, poppy moments while the coinciding video turns heads with a steamy, latex-laden Barthel symbolizing the demons that dominate GLU’s thoughts as he raps satirically through a leather ball gag. GLU’s genesis was rooted in honesty, creativity, and the desire not just to exist but to exist deeply, and with no major concentration of genre aside from melding them, he unravels ribbons of rhyme and musicianship that are introspective and engaging. Self-produced and mastered by Dale Becker (Doja Cat, Chris Brown, Khalid), the MY DEMONS EP as a whole is a look into the late nights, solitude, and the existential crisis that come with surviving alone through a pandemic. Taking influence from Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots, Mac Miller, the back and forth of the artist’s soft soundscapes lead way to catchy lyrics touching on relatable subjects of struggle, loss, addiction and trauma. Previous single “Night Shift,” highlights the impending doom we feel, generated by the current state of our world. “For me, ‘MY DEMONS’ was about being on my own terms; having my own momentum,” said Shuman. “This is something that is different because I do come from punk rock, but I’m doing this… so it’s not going to sound like your typical DJ or Hip-Hop producer. I want it to feel fresh, and that’s the most exciting thing for me.” MY DEMONS Track Listing: MY DEMONS ft.

https://www.musikblog.de/2024/10/phantogram-memory-of-a-day/ Seit ihrer Gründung 2007 haben sich Phantogram, das Duo bestehend aus Sarah Barthel und Josh Carter, stetig weiterentwickelt. Mit “Memory Of A Day” tauchen sie tiefer denn je in elektronische Sphären ein, ohne ihre Wurzeln im Dream-Pop und Indie-Rock zu verleugnen. “Memory Of A Day” ist eine atmosphärische, fast filmische Platte und beweist eindrucksvoll: Die […]

Kings of Leon & Phantogram – Mann Center – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA – September 23, 2024

Can we please have fun, Philly?

Phantogram is an indie pop duo consisting of Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter. They formed in 2007, building sounds of electric street rock, mixed with dreamy pop music. Their debut album, Eyelid Movies, was released in 2010, creating indie hits like “When I’m Small.” Other album releases include Voices in 2014, Three in 2016 and Ceremony in 2020. These days, the duo can be found on tour, and they have recently released two new singles for their upcoming album Memory of a Day, due for release in mid-October 2024. 

Phantogram started the night opening up for the Kings of Leon. Their set began with their song “Don’t Move,” from their 2011 EP, “Nightlife.” As soon as the first few notes of the song hit, the crowd immediately started cheering out of excitement, all while the lights flashed back and forth. Just like how the term “phantogram” is a form of an optical illusion, the band portrayed that with all of the strobe lights and colorful visions during their set.

Singer Sarah Barthel played keys and gave an ethereal intro to the song “Cruel World,” but once that chorus change dropped, she jumped around stage dancing and whipping her hair side to side while holding the mic. Many of Phantogram’s songs tend to jump from this dreamy, spacy vibe over to this electric energy-filled techno pop. Although this show was on a Monday and they were the opener, the duo did not disappoint with the energy that they brought on stage, along with the full crowd that showed up to dance and sing with them during their set. Phantogram was the perfect opener to pop off the energy for the rest of the night!

Next up were headliners Kings of Leon, a family band formed in 1999, consisting of brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill, and cousin Matthew Followill. Their sound has grown over the years with each album, but their Southern garage rock roots still remain true, as well as tying some blues energy into their music. Kings of Leon gained some traction with their debut EP released in 2003 called "Holy Roller Novocain”. Shortly after, they released their album Youth and Young Manhood.

Other album releases include Aha Shake Heartbreak in 2004, Because of the Times in 2007, Only By The Night in 2008, which has hits “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody” that became instant mainstream radio hits. Kings of Leon released multiple albums after this, including Come Around Sundown (2010), Mechanical Bull (2013), and When You See Yourself (2021). Can We Please Have Fun? is the band’s ninth studio album release that came out in May 2024.

Kings of Leon kicked off their set with the song “Ballerina Radio” off of their new album. Mondays aren’t so tough to get through when a high energy rock band headlines the stage at a Philly venue. Whether it was on the slower side or it included upbeat riffs, the crowd knew all of the words to every song played, singing and dancing along to every lyric, all throughout their songs. Usually, whenever a band is touring for their new album release, they tend to mainly play songs from that album alone with a song or two sprinkled in there from another album.

The Kings played some songs from every album. Having several albums since 2003, there were definitely some hits in there that had the crowd cheering extra loud, especially the ones they haven’t played live in a while. “Pyro” off of their album Comedown Sundown stuck out more to me while watching their set. At one point in the song, singer Caleb paused to let the crowd sing lyrics to the chorus on the screen that everyone yelled while the light show and colorful visuals that were eye-catching. Then tying back into the band playing as a whole again once the bang of the drums hit after that chorus.

During their tour, Kings of Leon have been advertising a “song for the city” where they surprise the crowd by playing a random requested song from fans from one of their albums over the years. Philly’s most requested song for the night was “McFearless” from their album Because of the Times. They admitted to not having played that one in a while, and while I’m sure it would seem it would be rusty to play, the band gave just as much energy playing this live as when it was released back in 2007.

Kings of Leon still brings that powerful live energy and movement 20 years later, with the crowd projecting just as much energy. Caleb even told the crowd “I got to say Monday night in Philadelphia is about as good as anywhere. We played on Saturday night, and you guys are better than the Saturday night crowd,” excited about how much fun the crowd had been.

There was so much positive energy and nostalgia through the night while both bands continuously thanked and declared their love for Philly. With their latest album titled “Can We Please Have Fun,” Kings of Leon most definitely answered that question after delivering plenty of fun during their Monday night set.

Phantogram Revives Their Magic with New Album Memory of a Day and Latest Single “It Wasn’t Meant To Be”

Phantogram's upcoming fifth album, Memory of a Day, set to release on October 18 via Neon Gold Records, marks a creative revival for the duo. According to band members Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter, the process of writing this album felt like a return to their roots, reigniting the magic of their early days. The pair describe the album as "an awakening," capturing the spontaneity and freedom they experienced when they first began creating music together. This rebirth is reflected not only in the music but also in the vibrant, colorful sounds that mirror their headspace during recording. Their latest single, "It Wasn’t Meant To Be," showcases the band’s signature mix of hazy synths, hypnotic guitar lines, and driving drum machines, all layered with their captivating vocals. Along with previous singles like "Come Alive," "Happy Again," and "All A Mystery," the track delves deep into the emotional complexities of relationships, touching on themes of pain, devotion, and inevitable attachment. The song’s origins stem from a blend of sounds from Josh’s 4-track and early beat experimentation, resulting in a raw and reflective sonic journey. With Memory of a Day, Phantogram seems poised to recapture the energy and spirit that first defined them, while exploring new sonic landscapes that evoke both nostalgia and freshness.
