Phantogram, the duo of Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter, will release their fifth album, Memory Of A Day, on October 18 via Neon Gold Records. This album marks their new partnership with the indie label known for its influential alt-pop roster. The band is on a 27-date North American tour with Kings of Leon, including headline shows throughout August, September, and October.
They’ve released three singles from the album: “All A Mystery,” a blend of synths, guitars, and hypnotic beats; “Happy Again,” which explores themes of darkness and hope; and “Come Alive,” a track that reflects on embracing life’s fleeting nature.

Phantogram’s journey includes collaborations with notable artists like Tom Morello and Billy Corgan. They’ve built a reputation for their evolving sound, blending dark psychedelia with electronic pop. Since their 2010 debut, Eyelid Movies, they’ve achieved significant streaming success and multiple certifications.
Phantogram add: ““All A Mystery” was a line that we used to sing when we first started writing songs for Phantogram. We would sing it and harmonize it together while working in the barn turned recording studio. Back then, it was “all a mystery” to us how we came together to become a band, and 14 years later, we are bewildered that we have been doing this for so long. This song touches on love, life, death and loss. It digs into memories, and the wonder of existence. And it examines the push and pull of time on this planet, and being able to share the experience of everything all at once as a mere grain of sand on an endless beach.”
About “Happy Again” they share: “Happy Again is a song about feeling lost. Walking blindly in the darkness, in search of a guiding light. But home is a feeling that you never forget. And dark is a season that can feel never ending. But eventually the sun will rise , and the ice will thaw, making us realize that through these changes, we can be happy again.”
