Work-Time-Fun

I hope you enjoy the play on words in the title of this post, I was very proud of it. (This post is about a band named Phantogram)  See I used the P and the H instead of the … oh well, I’m sure you get it. 

Anyway, Phantogram is an Indie Pop duo from Sarasota Springs, New York and I need to thank my older brother for turning me on to them.  They definitely convey that indie persona in their music, it has that character that just screams “I’m different, I’m unique, but you know what, you’re gonna like it.”  Their music has movement to it, it makes you feel like you are on a  journey, whether it is floating through the air or traveling through space, it has got that feel to it that makes you not want to sit still.  It moves from dark to light and back again.  It moves fast to slow and slow to fast and repeats the cycle.  Sarah graces us with her voice and her talent on the keyboards while Josh compliments her with his work on the guitar strings on those echo vocals in the background. 

The video below is just one of their many brilliant songs.  Their most popular is “mouthful of diamonds.”  I would have posted that video but I figured I would choose in relation to their persona and go with the road less traveled.  By the way, they write and record in a barn, how sick is that.  (Her bangs are awesome).
