American indie pop duo, Phantogram, was founded in 2007 in Saratoga Springs, NY. Originally known as Charlie Everywhere, they gained recognition by performing and releasing two EPs on local label Sub-Bombin Records. On January 26, 2009, they signed with UK label Barely Breaking Even and changed their name to Phantogram.
Inspired by a blend of genres including electronic music, rock, and hip-hop, Phantogram has carved out their own unique sound. Their music is characterized by haunting vocals from Sarah Barthel and catchy beats produced by Josh Carter.
With influences ranging from Yeasayer to STRFKR, Phantogram has captivated audiences worldwide with their mesmerizing performances and thought-provoking lyrics. Their discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Eyelid Movies" and "Voices," which showcase their ability to seamlessly blend different musical elements into a cohesive sonic experience.

Phantogram's music sounds like it's made by a band from the city. Electronic loops, hip-hop beats, shoegaze, soul, and pop each find its way into their songs. Unexpectedly, the band doesn't live and work in a major urban center, but rather calls the town of Saratoga Springs, NY home. Despite the cultural influence of local Skidmore College (where fellow beat-experimenters Ratatat formed) Saratoga isn't exactly teeming with fans of J. Dilla, My Bloody Valentine or Serge Gainsbourg. Using various samplers, tapes, records, synths, drums, and both percussive and stringed instruments, Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, the duo that make up Phantogram have allowed their natural surroundings and metropolitan influences to mix, resulting in brilliant, unusual recordings that are beautiful yet hard, dreamlike yet substantial, danceable yet smart.
