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

    Herpes is a very frustrating infection that is caused by the simplex virus (HSV). Today, many people are suffering from this annoying virus, and most people also believe that there isn’t any cure. Someone is carrying this virus without showing any symptoms; on the other hand, most people show its signs, and herpes is fully shown within 2-12 days after the explosion to the HSV. Bear in mind that you don’t need to spend a fortune on drugs and medications that won’t work. All you need is to follow Dr.Oise and place your order and be health free again. for more information contact us what’s app +2349116189041 or droisemudiamenherbalhome@gmail.com

    Its a great pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr Oise but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try DR. Oise then i contacted him through his what’s app , he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My experience with him was great, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for a medical check up after two weeks of usage. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for a check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through the same pain. You can reach him via what’s app +2349116189041 or email droisemudiamenherbalhome@gmil.com

  • EMMA HAYES

    I am Emma Hayes from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 4 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Harry to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and Whatsapp number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him on his email address drharrysolution@gmail.com He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine and got it through UPS and started using it according to his instructions and Within days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 3 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth, the sores in my pubic area all gone and healed i was so happy because of this shameful illness i lost my high school sweetheart and made me depressed so that’s why i promised to share my testimony with everyone online to hear and experience this great healing, you are indeed a blessing to this planet and i will do my best to make sure you are known in the united states . I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes HPC stroke pile , small manhood size ,low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, lupus disease ,Hiv/aids , spiritual help of all kinds or other similar disease ,you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Harry on his WhatsApp number +2349036417079 , Email him on drharrysolution@gmail.com OR website: https://drharrysolutionhea.wixsite.com/healinghome God bless you all as you contact him


  • BTC HACKER

    My sincere gratitude to BTC Web Recovery for his professionalism, truly, he is a real deal. I would not waste my time with any other hacker and wished I had known them sooner. I am writing this review to be of help to everyone out there, who in one or two ways has been scammed by online investment platforms. After going through a lot to recover my bitcoin although many people told me it’s impossible. If you’ve lost your bitcoin as a result of investing in binary options, trading platforms, your account was hacked or other bitcoin related scams or lost money to scammers online in whichever ways then You’re not alone. (I lost over $97,950 to skyrockettrade). Being a scam victim myself, I tried several means to recover my funds all to no avail, until one day I came upon an article in the Local News about Btc Hackers Recovery, they literally saved my life, all i lost to these fake investors skyrockettrade was recouped in just a few days (a total of 3.7721 BTC) was recovered, Kindly send a message to the contact below if you’ve been in such situations and you are seeking recovery. contact them via:
