Fareoh goes great in yummy salads

So you probs already know about Big Grams and their debut EP last year. They are the combo indie/electro/hiphop consortium comprised of Big Boi (a la Outkast) and Phantogram – and they just put out a bunch of remixes of their song “Drum Machine” – arguably the weakest song from their EP (worth checking out “Fell In The Sun” – and “Lights On”). So what’d they do? They grabbed the track and had five separate folks remix the heck out of it. This Fareoh remix is hands down the best one. Who? Well, this dude Ian Spurrier (no relation to Steve) may have to pull a MacGruber-style Vegas nightclub introduction: “Who am I, you ask!?… MY name, is Fareoh! Remember. That. Name!” But he’d have to spell it for us too cuz I have no idea how to pronounce it. Is it like the Egypt pharaohs? or like, the way too expensive grain I put in my salad at Chop’t, farro…? Well whether it be his affinity for hieroglyphics and sarcophagi, or just nutritious and delicious salads, he made a really good song.

Feli Things he’s really good at photoshop…

Phantogram – Fall In Love

Two nights ago, I checked out Phantogram as they continue to tour in preparation of the upcoming Voices, due out 2/8. They definitely blew the doors off with some of their better known early work and also played some previously unreleased tracks — one of which being “Fall In Love”, which was released today. “Fall In Love” follows in the line of everything I adore about Phantogram, dreamy vocals over chopped hip-hop beats, and I can’t get enough.

Phantogram – Black Out Days

Holy shit, there is a new Phantogram song! Having gone to undergrad in Saratoga Springs, I feel some phantom (pun intended) connection to Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel. The duo haven’t released original material since 2011’s Nightlife EP and haven’t released a full-length since 2009. They have though, been very active in collabs, like contributing to the fantastic “Lines” for Big Boi. Anyways, today Phantogram dropped the dense and skittering “Black Out Days.” There seems to be a bit of a hip-hop influence to the song, but it can ultimately be defined by the sweeping synths and keyboards, and airy vocals Phantogram are known for.
