Fresh Tunes of 2016: "Three" by the Phantogram [album review]

Review:

Phantogram’s third full length album Three centers on the themes of addiction and acceptance from the self-described psych pop duo of Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter.  Suffering through the untimely loss of Barthel’s sister last January, the expected emotions from this kind of event are channeled to create meaning from loss.  Despite the somber overtone, they weave in light hearted reprieves to balance the scales.

The first half of the album begins with a crawl in the slow building “Funeral Pyre”, but by the time “Same Old Blues” gets rolling out Phantogram’s fans will feel right at home.  It’s both self-aware and deprecating, and the catchy hooks Carter employs makes for some of the album’s best moments.  Barthel’s vocals throughout are superb as usual.  She alternates from violent outburst to haunting reflections with ease.  Carter stays in the background producing for the most part, but notably shares the spotlight with Barthel on the standout track “You’re Mine”. 

Clocking in at a lean thirty-six minutes, Phantogram’s third full album is a whirlwind in every sense.  The erratic and sometimes uneven nature is part of the fun however, and the dark romanticism and vulnerability found within the lyrics makes the whole ride worth a listen.  Three doesn’t reinvent the sound Phantogram has established over the years.  However, it is a solid street beat album that showcases the best of the artists’ talents while admirably never flinching away from their personal flaws.   


Standouts:

Funeral Pyre
Same Old Blues
You Don’t Get Me High Anymore
You’re Mine
Cruel World

In a short summary, I’m here to tell the whole world that I recently got cured from my long term herpes disease, both the HSV1 and HSV2 through the assistance of Herbalist doctor Oyagu I pray God continually blesses Dr Oyagu in all he does, because he is indeed a very good, nice and powerful doctor. I’m cured of herpes disease at last! Wow I’m so much in great joy because I’ve never in my life believed herbs works, but meeting doctor Oyagu was an eye opener and he made me believe that herpes truly got a complete cure. I used the doctor’s herbal medicine for just two weeks and I was totally cured from both my HSV1 and HSV2. I’m so excited.

    After falling victim to a cryptocurrency scam, I was devastated and unsure if I would ever recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across RecoveryHacker101, and they truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, their team was extremely responsive and took the time to understand the full scope of my situation. They explained their recovery process clearly, giving me confidence that I was in capable hands.

    One thing that stood out to me was their professionalism and transparency. Unlike other services that make vague promises, RecoveryHacker101 was upfront about the challenges but assured me they had the tools and expertise to recover my funds. Within two weeks, I received the good news that they had successfully recovered a substantial portion of my lost crypto.

    The level of communication throughout the process was excellent. I received regular updates, and they were always available to answer my questions. They even offered helpful tips on how to avoid future scams and safeguard my digital assets.

    I can’t thank RecoveryHacker101 enough for their help and dedication. If you’re in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact them at RecoveryHacker101[at]gmail[dot]com. Their service is reliable, and they truly know what they’re doing when it comes to crypto recovery!
