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

    When the Bible states we are gods of the earth I felt this truth during my encounter with Lord Meduza the spell master. I’m Denzel Chau and I’m here to present the individual who transformed my life from poverty to becoming a multimillionaire Jackpot victor.. I reached out to Lord Meduza for assistance with winning numbers and he successfully helped me after casting a lottery spell for me. I utilized the numbers to enter the Jackpot lottery and I was announced as the winner of $368,000,000. Acquiring the numbers from Lord Meduza took 72 hours and I want to express my gratitude publicly to him for his remarkable service to humanity and for deciding to assist me during my life’s lowest moment.

    I have be living with Oral herpes for over 4 years now and it has be a big problem for me. I have been looking for solution because I can’t leave with it, One day I came across a woman testimony on a forum saying she got cured of her Herpes with the help of Dr Akhimien an herbal doctor from African with herbal medicine. At first I did not believe because I was not sure herbs can really take this virus away, but I have no choice than to give it a try and contacted him with his emails, I explain my problems,.. then he told me not to worry that he will prepare the a cure with herbal mixture and send it to me, I got the medicine after 4 days delivery and I use as instructed. After 21 days when the herb was almost finished, I went to a medical doctor, I did a test and discovered that the virus was gone, and my test results were HSV 1%2 negative, I was so surprised and happy! Then I wrote to Dr Akhimien and thanked him for getting me cured from herpes. I advice you to contact this great herbal doctor Akhimien as he have cure for different kinds of diseases. I decided to share this testimony to let others who also suffer from herpes know about this and give hope to others, you can reach him via Email drakhiniemodion@gmail.com also his FB Page https://www.facebook.com/Drakhiniem/ or WhatsApp number +2349133157031
