• Track Listing

After a string of successful Eps, trip-hop revivalists Phantogram finally unleashed their first full length in 2010 in the form of this album, but it sounds like something right out of the early ‘90s UK trip-hop scene. This is all cool vibe, slick, laid back beats, sexy synths and sultry, breathy vocals from lead singer Sarah Barthel. What sets it apart are the songwriting chops on display here. Influences from Bowie to Cocteau Twins to Serge Gainsbourg seep through on cuts like "Mouthfull of Diamonds," "When I’m Small," "Running From The Cops," and more. The band has a new single out now, but if you missed out and want to go back to the beginning, this one is highly recommended. Barsuk.
