For 'Three', Phantogram made writing stops at home and in Atlanta before picking back up in Los Angeles to record the album. Carter and Barthel shared duties on production and vocals, melding elements of rock, pop, hip-hop and electronic. The resulting sound leans darker and more psychedelic yet with some of the brightest and most introspective pop melodies they've delivered to date, truly making them genre-defying artists for the 21st century.
