Phantogram was formed in Saratoga Springs, a small city in upstate New York, by bandmates and longtime friends Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel. Since 2007, Phantogram’s unique sound has evolved gradually and organically, and the band’s career has mirrored that progress. With each acclaimed release, national tour, and placement in film, TV, and advertising since 2009 debut Eyelid Movies, their sound has progressed—and so has their popularity.
