The New York-born, Los Angeles-based duo Phantogram release “Earthshaker” as they reflect on their last album release Memory Of A Day last fall. They just finished their tour with Deftones across North America.
Phantogram adds: “While making ‘Earthshaker’, we had a lot of fun recreating late-60’s inspired drum breaks and vintage guitar textures, casing that raw, timeless feel. The result sits somewhere between old soul and Krautrock – familiar yet hypnotic. We are really proud of how it came together and we hope you love it too.”
Earlier this year, they released “In My Head” in collaboration with electronic musician Whethan (Charli XCX, Dua Lipa etc.) And last year, Phantogram released their album Memory Of A Day in a new partnership with Neon Gold Records, the celebrated indie label known for its long lineage of powerful alt-pop artists from Charli XCX and HAIM to Tove Lo, MARINA and Christine and the Queens.
Lauded as an experimental and alternative band and one that’s never been married to a particular genre, Phantogram – comprised of lifelong friends Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel – have continued to change the zeitgeist for almost a decade by consistently challenging it with their signature blend of hard-hitting beats, guitar-driven dark psychedelia and electronic pop. Since the arrival of 2010’s debut release, Eyelid Movies, the duo has amassed over a billion streams, achieved one platinum-certified single, two gold-certified singles.
