Genre-defying alt-rock duo Phantogram – comprised of lifelong friends Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel – have continued to change the zeitgeist for almost a decade now by consistently challenging it with their signature blend of hard-hitting beats, guitar-driven dark psychedelia and electronic pop. Phantogram’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, Ceremony, marks a rebirth and embodies a dark, but hopeful, chapter for the band. The album is the first project they made entirely around Los Angeles. They spent a week at Rancho de la Luna studio while recording the bulk of the album at Sarah’s new home studio, dubbed Harmonie West, (previous albums were made at Harmony Lodge in Upstate New York). Ceremony features Phantogram’s recently released singles, “In A Spiral,” “Mister Impossible” and “Into Happiness,” as well as eight additional tracks.
