Greenwich, NY duo Phantogram obsessed over the concept of time while creating its fifth record, 2024’s Memory of a Day. The album follows both the joyful and tragic moments in life, while looking at them through the forbidding lens of a life calendar, a gridded sheet that measures a lifetime in weeks, with each passing week slowly blacking out the grid. These ideas are distilled into the duo’s signature blend of electronic indie rock and hip-hop beats and samples, taking reference from mutual favorite artists like J Dilla, Prince, Slowdive and Talking Heads. Phantogram is currently at the tail end of a North American tour, with Franco-Mexican electronic duo Los Eclipses opening this leg as part of its own tour for last year’s Eden Sauvage.
