Phantogram Album Review: “Voices”
out of 10 Like most so-called "Electropop" acts that are out there, Phantogram is pretty much a staple to the genre. With their release of "Eyelid Movies" back in 2010, these guys stuck their toes in the water and really wowed us with a splash of interesting sonic experiments and songs…
