What a perfect album title. The electro-pop duo of Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel have crafted a densely atmospheric album that only gets better as the sun goes down. With equal parts Portishead and Au Revoir Simone, the pair seamlessly mix live instruments with synths to create a vibrant neon blanket of sound. Each song is its own mini-movie mood piece.
Phantogram’s self-described ‘street beat psych pop’ is summed up perfectly in “Mouthful of Diamonds” and “As Far as I Can See,” which add layer upon layer of percussion, independent melodies and inspired technical flourishes. While both take turns sharing the vocals, Barthel’s angelic hazy voice better suits the dreamy, mellow ballads. Carter handles the darker, more paranoid numbers well, but they jar slightly with the soft beauty of the album.
Though Eyelid Movies certainly sounds like a first album, one can hear the three years the band spent working towards it. Phantogram makes their influences obvious, but each relaxed winding-down tune carries its own identity. At times cold and sparse, the songs never fail to double back into a lush, warm buzz. Typical to the genre, the lyrics are unremarkable at best, but sometimes all you need is a room draped in darkness, a good pair of speakers and a thick wall of sound.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a
sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
but I had to tell someone!
You have mentioned very interesting details ! ps decent web site . “I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.” by Mark Twain.
