Phantoms want to bring back the night. In crafting a debut album that effortlessly spans multiple genres, the duo of Vincent Pergola and Kyle Kaplan create sophisticated arrangements and tension-filled pop that reminds listeners of dance music’s nocturnal foundations. Though only in their mid-20s, the duo are already veterans of the Los Angeles scene. After they began DJing at spots for the “young Hollywood” set, Phantoms began to gravitate towards producing their own music, embracing synthesizers and drum machines, but yearning for something more dynamic. They began playing their tracks live around the city, donning suits and creating a dramatic atmosphere. They’ve recently released two of these songs, “Voyeur” and “Broken Halo,” which will appear on their forthcoming debut on Republic/Casablanca/FAMILY records. In the end, it’s Phantoms uncanny ability to reinvent the norm that leaves them poised for a breakout 2016. And as the music of Phantoms continues to spread, it’s becoming clear that the night is theirs, and soon will be all of ours to share.

Portland singer-songwriter and drummer Coco Columbia fuses infectious indie-pop melodies, dreamy eyed electro-soul soundscapes, complex harmony and jazz improvisation to create her own unique brand of bumpin' space age electro-pop. 
In 2012, Coco Columbia dropped out of music school, setting aside her passion for jazz drumming, to begin singing and writing music. After several months spent teaching herself to record, make beats, and play piano she put together a group of Portland’s finest jazz musicians to finish recording her debut album, “The Weight”, funded by her successful kickstarter campaign, (you can find "The Weight" on www.cococolumbia.com).
