Once again as a plate ...

Phantogram are 2 musicians from New York, keyboardist Sarah Barthel and guitarist Josh Carter. The sound of their debut, they create a blend of interesting, hard beats and samples, atmospheric keyboard sounds and a catchy guitar (memorability comparable to The xx). Almost all the songs on the album follow the same recipe, but the majority stands by exciting beat Arrangements / samples and changing the front singing out - both band members come equally 'to speak', and rightly so.

The beats remind me of good (now hardly to be found) Hip Hop while the keyboard and the guitar pull the sound in a completely different direction. This mix is ​​the attraction of the band for me. Definitely one of the best and freshest albums that I've heard this year.

Playing tips: The singles "Mouthful Of Diamonds'", "Running From The Cops" and the Pearl "When I'm Small" and "Bloody Palms".
