Phantogram

Among the recent glut of airy-voiced synth-pop acts (Chvrches et al), Phantogram continues to stand out with its hypnotically sensual dance-rock and not-so-secret hip-hop inspirations (the band has collaborated with the likes of Big Boi and Action Bronson). The L.A.-based duo is playing the Palladium, promoting their fifth album, Memory of a Day, which blends “guitar-driven dark psychedelia and electronic pop.”
