De Nova Iorque chegam os Phantogram, formados por Joshua M. Carter e Sarah D. Barthel. O projecto lançou este ano o álbum Eyelid movies, onde apresenta músicas que combinam batidas com melodias psicadélicas e com texturas orgânicas. É um album a balançar entre a pop, o trip-hop, a indie e o shoegaze. Daqui fica o seguinte:"Phantogram sounds like a band from the city. Electronic loops, hip-hop beats, shoegaze, soul, pop – each finds its way into their songs. Unexpectedly, the band doesn’t hail from a metropolis, but rather calls the town of Saratoga Springs, NY (population 26,186) home. Most people there, other than maybe some students at local Skidmore College (where fellow beat-experimenters Ratatat formed), have never heard of J. Dilla, My Bloody Valentine, or Serge Gainsbourg.
But Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, the duo that make up Phantogram and who grew up in the even smaller nearby municipality of Greenwich, have flourished in Saratoga. In fact, the town itself isn’t rural enough for their taste – they drive almost every day another 45 minutes into upstate farmland to a barn they call Harmony Lodge to write and record. Serving as their homemade studio/practice space/think-tank/bat-cave, the barn is equipped with various samplers, tapes, records, synths, drums, and both percussive and stringed instruments, and it’s there that Phantogram allows their natural surroundings and urban influences to meld together creating some beautiful, beat-driven dreamlike pop songs."
