Phantogram recently launched a headline North American tour in support of their fifth album, Memory of a Day (Neon Gold Records).
The dream pop duo arrive for a performance at The Fillmore Silver Spring on Tuesday, Feb. 4!
Sparked by a color or song that recalls the most joyful and tragic moments in your life, a sense memory vaults you into the distant past… these subtle triggers remind us that memory isn’t confined to the mind; it lives in the body, too. Memory of a Day, Phantogram’s new album, captures that disorienting sense of time travel with the band noting, “We put these songs together as a capsule, thinking about how a certain sound or melody can bring you back instantly to a memory of a day.”
“Days are only numbers,” Sarah Barthel sings on the chorus of “Come Alive.” That lyric became a north star for the duo as they set forth to make Memory of a Day. At once heavy and ebullient, “Come Alive” distills the lasting impact Phantogram has made on popular culture.
Watch Phantogram perform “Come Alive” live for WFUV Public Radio on YouTube:
Since their 2010 debut, Eyelid Movies, Phantogram has been comparable to no one, futurists who still manage to stay ahead of the curve more than a decade into their career. Their genre-bending approach to pop has led them to work with everyone, from Big Boi, with whom they founded Big Grams, to Subtronics, Future Islands, Deftones, the Flaming Lips, Tom Morello, and Miley Cyrus, to name just a few. A festival staple across the globe, Phantogram has also toured with Queens of the Stone Age, Arcade Fire, the XX, and many more. “We’ve always been proud of that: not being afraid of the experimental.”
