Phantogram is an American electronic duo from Greenwich, New York, formed in 2007 and consisting of Josh Carter (vocals, guitars) and Sarah Barthel (vocals, keyboards). The band has been described as having airy vocals and spacey keyboards giving the feeling of dream pop and electronica music. Hit songs like "Black Out Days" and "Fall in Love" are featured on the album "Voices" and have been heard on television and movie soundtracks like the TV show Shameless and the movie Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The band just recently released their third full album properly titled "Three." This album contains songs like "Cruel World" and "You're Mine" which continue with their electronica and dream pop vibes that were seen in their previous albums. Phantogram has also been featured with many other artists ranging from Miley Cyrus to Big Boi. When performing with Big Boi, who is one half of famed hip hop duo Outkast, the group became a trio called Big Grams where they experiment with combining hip hop and electronica together. One of my favorites from Big Grams is called "Lights On" which is found on the self-title "Big Grams" EP.
