A few nights ago, Phantogram opened for Ra Ra Riot in a Syracuse, NY show, a show I would have loved to attend. Phantogram shares some connections with Ra Ra Riot, both having a melancholy sound, and signed under the venerable Barsuk Records. Their sound is a tripped up dream-electro-pop; M83 stripped bare to a piercing, pounding, entrancing core.
Make sure you listen to this with good bass.
