I've been in support of west coast rapper Azad Right for some time now, in fact back last spring many blogs were not posting him. Yet, you can find Right on pretty many blogs now and I'm glad his name is getting out there more. He just released a new song the other day called "Old School," which might have a familiar tune sampled. If you do not recognize it, Azad raps over a sample of indie/pop band Phantogram' s "When I'm Small." That touch of electronic and indie with hip hop always seems to gel ...

Azad Right’s latest joint covers the indie pop duo Phantogram’s “When I’m Small”. Always lyrical and on ”Old School” Azad discusses his musical influences. It’s definitely a catchy song and the electronic/indie vibe works well for Azad’s music.

Azad Right, the catchy new rapper with really unique voice is back with another new track. I love his track where he went over indie group The XX, and today he follows the same theme. He goes in on Phantogram’s “When I’m Small” and really kills it. The electronic / indie beat works perfect with [...]

Add Phantogram to the ever-growing list of awesome two-member bands. I actually came across this band on a list of 2 person electronic acts that weren’t Daft Punk. Since Daft Punk has been somewhat out of sight (but never out of mind) for the past five years, the way has been paved for other electronic acts to get their feet in the door and prove that electronic music is still something worth developing as a genre.  Phantogram hails from Saratoga Spring, NY and formed in 2007 (what a great year!). The band consists of vocalist/keyboardist Sarah Barthel and ...

A curious single having two different solo singers on either side of the disc fronting the Prince Buster'a backing band."Headache" is a very odd sounding ska tune with gutteral growlings by an unknown. Recorded in 1965.I imagine the "A" side would be by Owen Gray and seems to refer to another popular singer of the time, Small">Millie Small. Wikipedia says of Derek Morgan - In 1957 Morgan entered the Vere Johns Opportunity Hour, a talent show held at the Palace Theatre in Kingston. He won with rousing impressions of Little Richard, and shortly after that, was recruited ...

Why does Lauren love remixes ? (Part 2) /  Pourquoi Lauren aime-t-elle les remixs ? (2ème partie)                          —————————————————————-           The transition from my impulsive teen years into (mostly) level-headed adulthood has generated its fair share of changes, one of the most prominent developments being the evolution of my impeccably unerring musical opinion.           Contrary to the impression this playlist might convey, I have had quite a turbulent relationship with remixes. Yes, it’s true. I was, at one point, a self-proclaimed “music purist” (how adorably pretentious I was at 15). By personal definition this meant I had a serious vendetta against any song that was not ...

Phantogram’s last record was a slow burner for me. It wasn’t until I saw the dynamic duo of Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel play live at SXSW (during the KCRW-sponsored Filter Magazine day showcase) that I realized they were something really special. (And the RAC remix of  “When I’m Small” helped a lot too) Their music is definitely poppy — with super catchy, repetitive choruses that implant themselves firmly in your brain for days – but there’s something really sensual and trip-hoppy about it as well. It’s been sounding great on the ...

Click image to download full album Sounds like: Washed Out, Holy Other, The Weeknd "Active Child (Feat. How To Dress Well) - Playing House" What's so good? Active Child recently premiered his video for “Playing House” on Pitchfork , and to be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of the video. It was directed by Isaac Ravishankara, who worked on videos for Freelance Whales’ “Hannah” and Phantogram’s “When I’m Small.” So I guess I had high expectations. But it’s really cheesy, and kinda boring. It’s unfortunate that the video is so meh considering that the song ...

While on tour along the west coast, Phantogram dropped by KEXP in Seattle to do a great set of tracks from their solid debut, Eyelid Movies. The band played "When I'm Small," "Bloody Palms," "As Far As I Can See," "16 Years" and "Don't Move." It's always surprising to realize that Phantogram can recreate the glistening sheen of their studio recordings, and this is no different. Download it here .
