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

    My life is beautiful because of you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus is in my life like a candle in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to heal, you did not sleep; you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal medicine center DR.GUBA, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also African. She told me about African herbs, but I was nervous. I am very afraid in Africa because I have heard many terrible things because of my Christianity. God of direction, take a bold step and contact him in the email, then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or if I want delivery, I told him I want to know him and buy a ticket 2 ways to go to Africa To meet DR.GUBA, I went there and I was speechless at the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a God sent to the world, I told my Pastor what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real beautiful battle with Spirit and Flesh. Worship the same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at DR.GUBA Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for an HIV test. When I did it, it was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was too white with the result, but happy inside me. We went with DR.GUBA, I thanked him, but I explained to him that I do not have enough thanks, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could read this now, I want to thank you. And thank you very much to DR.GUBA Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar which I put on my wall in my house. DR.GUBA can also cure the following diseases … Cancer, HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Inflammatory Liver, Diabetes, Fibroid, Parkinson’s Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Fibromyalgia, recover your body. You can contact him via an email via: drgubahealingherbs@gmail.com or WhatsApp: + 234 7077581439 or website: https://drgubahealingherbs.wixsite.com/guba-healing-herbs
