Phantogram - Ceremony

Released in 2020, Ceremony is the fourth studio album from the experimental duo Phantogram. Comprised of lifelong friends Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, the band continues to challenge the zeitgeist with their signature fusion of hard-hitting beats, guitar-driven dark psychedelia, and electronic pop. Lauded for their refusal to be married to a single genre, Phantogram uses Ceremony to embody a powerful transition into a new era of their career.

The album serves as a sophisticated document of resilience, balancing the band's traditional atmospheric tension with a newfound sense of hope. Featuring the high-octane singles "In A Spiral" and the anthemic "Into Happiness," Ceremony showcases a band refining their "street beat" roots into a more expansive and polished sonic identity. It is a mandatory entry for those following the evolution of one of the most consistent projects in modern alternative music.
