Phantogram’s ‘Voices’: Stream The Full Album

We’ve already heard Phantogram‘s loopy, churning “Fall In Love,” the jittery “Black Out Days” and the gently swaying “Bill Murray,” but now the duo is streaming their entire album Voices a week ahead of its release. The formula for Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter’s crystalline, hip-hop-tinged electro-pop hasn’t changed much— precise sampling and clinical synths still dominate — but the new LP finds them exploring a few new textures. On “Never Going Home,” Carter takes the vocals and channels Peter Gabriel, while “Howling At The Moon” exhibits some touches of dancehall and other tracks flirt with dream pop.

Meanwhile, Barthel’s voice is an even bigger star this time around, and it’s as arresting as ever. Voices is out February 18, but you can stream the whole thing right now over at NPR.
