“I don’t recognize you anymore,” Sarah Barthel sings at the very end of Phantogram’s new single, “Black Out Days,” atop a surprisingly soft piano. I say “surprisingly” because the 3 and a half minutes that precedes it is a booming, electronic rock song with a hell of a chorus (and what sounds curiously like a Santigold sample). Catchy and a little dark, this track really thrives off of Barthel’s emotive, confident voice. No word yet on a new album from these two, but this is a great way to tide us over.
