"PHANTOGRAM is a Psych-Rock, Electronic, Hip-Hop Influenced duo from Upstate, NY consisting of Joshua Carter and Sarah Barthel. Their music can be described as a culmination of unique street beat rhythms, and psychedelic melodies, with combined technology and organic textures.
The band's debut full-length album Eyelid Movies was released in September 2009 on BBE records in Europe and in February 2010 on Barsuk records in the US. In March 2009 they released a five song EP via their own label which featured four songs that ended up being on the full length, as well as another that was left off, entitled 'Voices.'"

My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ 1/2
This album is scheduled to come out February 9th 2010, but it leaked so I figured I'd post it.
I saw a KEXP video of these guys performing "Mouthful of Diamonds" on youtube and I loved it. These guys have a very unique, and big, sound for being just two people. Sarah's hypnotizing vocal melodies and Joshua's intricate guitar layering work together perfectly. This is the kind of album that gives me hope for present day music. Great stuff.
