Phantogram
Eyelid Movies
Released by Barsuk
Phantogram's debut Eyelid Movies comes across as a shrine to things that sound great on headphones, full of crisp and spry drums, and breathtakingly lush synthesized textures. It could end up pretty awful, right? It could have been music to shop to or something of the sort, but the record treats this richness as reason enough to exist. In Phantogram's soulful blend of pop, hip-hop and electronica, the duo closely recalls TV on the Radio, but by eschewing that band's zeitgeist-humping seriousness, they produce something more direct and, dare I say it, sincere.
