Show & Tell: Phantogram – When I’m Small
Posted by Simon in Show & Tell on 31. Mar, 2010 | 0 Comments
Blending myriad influences, upstate New York duo Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel manage to sound instantly recognizable yet undeniably unique as Phantogram. Although album opener “Mouthful of Diamonds” might not seem out of place on a Starbucks CD, Phantogram’s debut LP Eyelid Movies actually fluctuates heavily between the melodic XX-like lo-fi of Diamonds and some serious Portishead [...]
Show & Tell: The Hood Internet – Decalogue (The Hood Internet vs The 2000s)
