Billboard 200 - #9, 2016 Grammy Award nomination - Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, 2016 "The hip-hop-influenced electro-pop duo have clearly grown a bit more comfortable with the conventional pop world; single You Don't Get Me High Anymore is as radio friendly as anything they've done and has some mainstream success to show for it ... Phantogram's creativity shines through when they embrace the past ... Three's high points come when some of the pop veneer is pulled back to let more raw, real feeling through. Overall, it's a solid record that should draw a wider audience to Phantogram's music." - Exclaim! On Phantogram’s third album, Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel take their sound in an intriguing, darkly shaded direction, adding new textures to their signature style. Three represents a new creative peak that Phantogram has been building towards for nearly a decade. Recent collaborations with outside artists pushed the duo musically and Three displays a surging energy and appealing experimentation, effectively showcasing a band reaching for and achieving new aesthetic heights. Carter found fresh perspective in AfroBeat and ‘60s R&B when creating the steady beats that form the foundation of the album. Despite the new influences and a strong experimental motivation, Three still sounds unmistakably like Phantogram, with plenty of thick, buzzing beats and snaking melodic lines. “It’s about heartbreak and having to push forward and move on and how challenging that is. It’s made us the people we really are and it’s a huge part of what this record means to us." - Sarah Barthel
