Phantogram Live At KEXP
I've been absent from posting since my year-end mix, so this will mark my first for 2010. And if there's any group that people should consider getting to know this year, I will suggest one name more than any other: Phantogram.
Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel are a pair of upstate New York kids (Saratoga Springs, to be exact) who made good in 2009, releasing their debut album Eyelid Movies on BBE Music. Equal parts shoegaze, electronic, hip-hop, rock, and pop, it was a bit of a departure for the label, but a risk that proved impossible to ignore. It quickly became my favorite album of 2009 and judging from the customer reviews in iTunes and Amazon, they are amazing live. In fact, people have said that Phantogram (as the opening act) was better than the band they actually paid to see. TEN TIMES OUT OF TEN. I fully agree with an iTunes customer suggesting that "this is what music will sound like in 2010."
