The title of "Celebrate Nothing," the newly revealed single from Phantogram, definitely calls into question a reason to party, but damned if the bouncy pop dazzler doesn't have us ready to call for an early weekend.
While lyrically, Sarah Barthel homes in on failure ("How many times can I blow it all? / How many times will I burn it down?"), the whirlwind of synth bass tones, sky-reaching shoegaze guitars and its steady percussive push make the track a total triumph.
A new self-titled EP from the band is due out September 30 through Republic Records, and will be supported with a North American tour. You'll find the details of the trip, including a Canadian stop in Vancouver, down below.
