I don’t know if you caught the Phantogram show at Northern Lights on Saturday night, but they put on a great, high-energy show. It was a quick set – only lasted about 45 minutes, but I suppose that’s what happens when you only have one record out.

The last time that hometown heroes Phantogram played at Northern Lights in Clifton Park was back in February, when they opened for Minus the Bear. That was just before their debut album for Barsuk Records, “Eyelid Movies,” was released.
Since then Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter have been spending lots and lots of their time out on the road, tirelessly touring to promote the album.
They’re somewhere in the wilds of Iowa tonight.
But they’ll be back in town by Saturday, May 22, when they’ll be making their triumphant homecoming show at Northern Lights. And this time around, they’re headlining. Opening the show will be Chicago-based quartet Light Pollution, whose swirling synth sounds will soon be heard on Carpark Records.
Advance tickets for the show are $10, and they’ll go on sale at 10am Thursday. (Tix will be $12 at the door.)
OK, we admit it. Phantogram rolled into town last Friday for a show at Northern Lights in Clifton Park. And that just whetted our whistle for more.
Now we just can’t wait til tomorrow.
Nippertown’s own electro-duo supreme Phantogram takes a huge step forward tomorrow with the release of their new album, “Eyelid Movies,” on the buzzworthy indie label, Barsuk Records.
If you just can’t wait til then, you can stream the entire album today at NPR, where “All Songs Considered” host Bob Boilen describes his first encounter with Saratoga’s dynamic dance-pop duo at the CMJ convention in NYC last fall: “I went, I saw, I loved.”
The album is already available for pre-order, of course, at places like iTunes and Amazon.
Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter thank you for your support.
Congrats go out to Saratoga Springs electropopsters Phantogram, who announced earlier this week that they’ve signed a record deal with Barsuk Records.
Here’s the official announcement from Barsuk’s website:
