Phantogram's new album is out, and they were back on TV

Phantogram's new album -- Voices -- is now out. And not only is the 11-track album the duo's first full album since 2010's Eyelid Movies, it's also the result of working of a big-time producer and a major record label.

Voices also marks a new level of fame for the act that grew out of a barn near Saratoga. Among the many reviews that accompanied Tuesday's release:

+ The AV Club: "Phantogram's major-label debut, Voices, very deliberately feels like a band fulfilling its potential."

+ Paste: "Voices thrums with a shapeshifting wistfulness and defiance from its outset, scooping up our loneliness and tossing us headfirst into a sea of same-feeling, party-going revelers. ... Voices is one of the most exciting sad albums I've encountered in a while."

+ Pitchfork: "Since the release of that first album, the indie-pop/R&B crossover zone Phantogram inhabits has become considerably more crowded with mega-hyped breakout acts, and Voices responds accordingly to these higher stakes with a bolder, more assertive approach. But while its standout tracks are strong enough to ensure Phantogram maintains its current altitude, there are a lot of places to turn to for this sort of thing these days, and this album ultimately underwhelms next to the pure-pop punch of Haim, the cutting lyricism of Lorde, or the radiant grandeur of Chvrches."

And with the new album, comes more TV. Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel were back on Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night. One of the songs they performed -- "Fall in Love" -- is embedded above. A second is embedded after the jump.
