Phantogram – Eyelid Movies
Phantogram, duo électronique new-yorkais qui fait des vagues depuis quelques temps sur la blogosphère et qui à joué en première partie de groupe tels Zero 7, Yeasayer et Minus The Bear sort finalement un premier album captivant et hypnotisant : Eyelid Movies ( Barsuk Records). Bien qu’ils ne soient que deux, le guitariste Josh Carter et la claviériste Sarah Barthel réussissent à créer une sonorité aussi riche que s’ils étaient cinq musiciens en utilisant seulement quelques instruments et éléments électroniques. Même si l’album est considéré électro-pop, il est teinté d’un agréable mélange de trip-hop, de psychédélique et de hip-hop. Read more…
Phantogram – Eyelid Movies
Saratoga Springs, NY electronic duo Phantogram, who have been making waves all over the blogosphere lately as well at venues all over North America and who have opened for the likes of Zero 7, Yeasayer and Minus The Bear have finally delivered their captivating and mesmerizing debut; Eyelid Movies (Barsuk Records). Although they are only two, guitarist Josh Carter and keyboardist Sarah Barthel have created a sound as full and satisfying as a five piece band using only a few instruments and some electronic elements. Although the album on a whole is electronic pop, the direction sometimes drifts into an incredibly pleasant mix of trip-hop, psychedelic, and even hip-hop. Read more…
Interview: Phantogram
Before Saratoga Springs’ Phantogram took the stage at Il Motore on Sunday, February 21st, we had a chance to catch up with the duo’s two members, Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter. While we all thought the party would be going down at Il Motore that night, the bumping bass from some sort of secret club next door made us think otherwise. So speaking over the party none of us were invited to we got to learn a little bit more about the two musicians that sat in front of us.
Phantogram – Il Motore – Sunday, February 21st
A short while after interviewing Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter and getting a bite to eat, I headed back to catch their show, as they played Il Motore last night. As well as the band headlining their first tour, it was also their first ever trip to La Belle Province. Being a fairly new band, it was to be seen what the turn out would be like for the show, and let’s just say, the attendance was not just, because Phantogram gave their limited audience nothing short of an intensely entertaining performance.
Venue of the Month: Il Motore
It was a bit tough to choose our venue of the month for February, because of how many great shows are taking place throughout the city this month. But after much deliberation, we have chosen Il Motore, for the second time in three months, as our venue of the month of February.
