Phantogram

I mentioned an EP by Phantogram as one of the best of 2011.  The group (from New York) consists of a guy and a girl, and they make pretty compelling music with very few instruments thanks to electronics and layering effects.  I would describe it as very beat-driven electronic music.  A lot of their songs are highly syncopated, and many are infectiously catchy.  They have a full album that came out in 2010: Eyelid Movies; it contains many of their best-known songs, including "Mouthful of Diamonds".  It's worth checking out; here's a live version of one of my favourite songs from that album.  The dude is really good on the guitar.  They recently released a music video for one of the great songs from the EP, "Don't Move".  The layering and rhythm on this song is unbelievable; I really like it.  I'm eagerly awaiting new music from them.
