PHANTOGRAM, the duo comprised of Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel from New York are mixing organic and electronic sounds, with swirling guitar, and spaced-out synths. You are very welcome to discover this striving young duo during their Showcase concert on 22 February 2012 at the Rockhalcafe.

Phantogram's music sounds as though as it is urban-based, despite the fact that the band calls the town of Saratoga Springs, NY their home. Electronic loops, hip-hop beats, shoegaze, soul, pop all find the way into their music. Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, the duo that make up Phantogram grew up in the nearby town of Greenwich. They drive almost every day to a barn they call Harmony Lodge to write and record. Serving as their homemade studio/practice space /bat-cave, the barn is equipped with various samplers, tapes, records, synths, drums, and both percussive and stringed instruments. It's here that Phantogram allows their natural surroundings and metropolitan influences to meld together and create the beautiful, beat-driven dreamlike pop songs that appear on their 2010 release, Eyelid Movies.

"Nightlife" their newest record is kind of an extension of the whole process of making and touring behind Eyelid Movies, and it feels in a lot of ways like the completion of what we were doing with the songs on that album, says Carter, adding that "the two records really go together in our minds. Nightlife couldn't have been written anywhere other than in clubs and hotel rooms during this experience we've been having for the last year or two."

In the whirlwind year and a half following the release of Eyelid Movies, Phantogram have been on the road almost constantly, building a well-deserved reputation as a tremendous live band. They've grown from supporting diverse tours with early supporters like The xx, The Antlers, and Minus the Bear to playing nearly every major North American festival to regularly headlining sold-out shows on their own. Along the way, they've stopped for appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live! and drawn praise from audiences, critics, and fellow musicians.

Now Phantogram are willing to gain new fans in Luxembourg, as they will be performing a showcase concert at the Rockhalcafe on 22 February 2012. Don't forget to bring along your friends, as the entrance is free!
