Phantogram have built a long-lasting career out of their emotionally powerful mix of overloaded electronic pop, alternative R&B feels, indie rock grandeur, and murky hip-hop underpinned by the duo's nimble musical skills and driven home by Sarah Barthel's vocals. She's proven again and again that she's a force to be reckoned with, able to blow the doors off with power or twist a heart with a subtle expression. Sometimes they drift a little too close to the overly processed side of mainstream pop, but on their fifth album, 2024's Memory of a Day, the pair craft something more idiosyncratic and left-field. They fold in more elements of shoegaze and dream pop this time, drenching the songs in layers of cloudily oscillating sound made by a combo of guitars and keys. They've come close to making songs as otherworldly dreamy as "All a Mystery" or as gloomily overdriven as "Ashes" -- which sounds like the Cocteau Twins fed through a blender -- but they've never sounded as mighty as this before. Alongside these are tracks that sound more traditionally Phantogram like "Jealousy" or "Come Alive," where they do a fine job mixing together complementary styles and sounds with the end result being deeply felt, intricately plotted pop music that doesn't kowtow to the trends and tropes of the genre. Impressive work, but there's even more goodness to come. The duo rock out convincingly on "Attaway," come across like a stadium version of Alvvays on the ultra-poppy and overdriven "Happy Again," and slide into trip-hop territory on the slinky "Running Through Colors," all while keeping the focus on Barthel's impressively expressive vocals. She always sounds 100 percent invested in every word she sings, and the duo are sure to always provide her with backing material weighty enough to match. Phantogram have made albums in the past that showed they were a band with the potential to make a great record, and they come very, very close here. Memory of a Day is 2020s pop music at its most rock-solid and real finest.
