Here's a bonus LOST commerical post...
The Saratoga Springs, NY duo of Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, known collectively as Phantogram, are preparing to barnstorm the nation multiple times in 2010. In celebration of the release of their debut LP, Eyelid Movies (out February 9th on Barsuk), the band will be hitting the East Coast this week and also playing a few Midwest dates. You can listen to the record in its entirety on NPR all week.
If you ever wondered if Trip Hop would be en vogue again, Phantogram , answer that question with a resounding YES. Picking up somewhere near where Portishead and the Sneaker Pimps left off in 1998, Phantogram create loopy songs based around old vinyl, depression, and a beat. It's mesmerizing stuff that's as seductive as it is disheartened which always makes for good tunes.
