Music Report - Nov. 25, 2024
Phantogram has built a lasting career combining electronic pop, alternative R&B, indie rock, and hip-hop, highlighted by Sarah Barthel's powerful vocals. On their fifth album, "Memory of a Day," they explore more idiosyncratic and left-field sounds, incorporating shoegaze and dream pop elements. The album features songs like "All a Mystery" and "Ashes," showcasing their ability to create otherworldly dreamy and gloomily overdriven tracks. Tracks like "Jealousy" and "Come Alive" reflect their signature style, blending complementary sounds into intricately plotted pop music. Overall, "Memory of a Day" represents 2020s pop music at its finest, with Barthel's expressive vocals and the duo's dynamic musical backing.
