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

by Brian O'Dea

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 crypto wallet was hacked, and I lost $87,000 in BTC and $115,000 in ETH at the time of the breach. I was absolutely devastated, left in shock. In my search for a way to recover my funds, I suspected the breach had happened through my email linked to the wallet, but I couldn’t find any way to regain access, no matter what I tried. I reached out to everyone I trusted, but nothing worked. That was until an old colleague told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, a company specializing in crypto and funds recovery. Without hesitation, I contacted them, and I’m so glad I did. The Morphohack team was incredibly professional and effective, they not only helped me recover my crypto assets but also secured my wallet to prevent future breaches. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact Morphohack directly via E-Mail at Morphohack@ cyberservices.com.
