Their new album will only be out in September but if their new song You Don’t Get Me High Anymore is any indication of the quality of the new record of Phantogram it’ll be worth the wait.
The song presents Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter at their best: One moment it’s a snarling synth-rock banger a la Radiohead’s “Myxomatosis,” the next it’s an emotional computer ballad like Nicki Minaj’s “Truffle Butter” beat bawling its eyes out. Barthel tells Pitchfork the duo’s new album Three will be a dark one, largely inspired by her sister’s suicide.
