Phantogram, have announced their new album Memory Of A Day will arrive on October 18th via Neon Gold Records. Ahead of the LP’s release, the duo comprised of Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter, share new single “Come Alive.” Memory Of A Day is also Phantogram’s first album with Neon Gold Records, who have put out records from Charli xcx, HAIM, Christine and the Queens and many more.

Phantogram explains “Come Alive”: ”The song started as a gritty chopped-up drum beat Josh made, that John Hill took and messed around with an old analog synth to make the sci-fi sound you now hear, and Sarah added in the bouncy bass line. Together we then messed with running some synths through guitar pedals, arranging a cool-sounding melody and hook, and we knew we had something special.

Lyrically, the song started from an idea of looking at life like a calendar. Our good friend Dan Wilson sat down with us and brainstormed different interpretations of a life calendar and the fleeting nature of life. For us, “Come Alive” is about embracing existence and recognizing how fragile life is. It’s about rolling with the punches, facing your fears, learning to cope with failures and success, pain and joy, addiction and connection. There are new days and new ways of turning into stone, and there are new ways to come alive.”

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.”
