Despite the incredible lineup, I will not be attending this year’s Coachella. One glance at the list and I already know what I will be missing out on. But for those who will be attending I bring to you today’s artist: none other than the brilliant and unfamiliar Phantogram!
Sure to turn their share of heads this year at Coachella, Phantogram is the up-and-coming dynamic duo from the state of New York. Mixing moody electronic rhythms, ethereal lyrics and fleeting synthesizers with beats commonly used in hip-hop, this band brings their own unique, psychedelic (and almost binaural if you listen long enough) flavor to the table.
With their debut album, Eyelid Movies, out only a year ago, this Saratoga Springs based band is already making a name for themselves. Featuring great tracks such as the “Mouthful of Diamonds” and “When I’m Small” (which was recently featured in the US’s adaptation of the British teen drama hit Skins), Eyelid Movies, is definitely one of my favorite albums of last year. So turn off your lights, grab your headphones and lay on the floor, you are about to experience the psychotropic sound that is Phantogram.
