1. MOUTHFUL OF DIAMONDS This was the first track that we ever worked on as a band. I made the beat and worked out a fuzzy arpeggiation on a synthesizer. Sarah and I jammed out over it for fun - about 5 months before we started a band together! When we started Phantogram, this song was a reference point for what kind of sound we wanted to achieve as a band. 2. 10,000 CLAPS We recorded the piano on this song with a shitty microphone in my parents house. It has a lonely feel to it. This song is about self-defeat. The 10,000 claps symbolize an imaginary audience that is cheering for you, when in reality; you are just alone - in your head - in an old empty house, in the country. We experimented with a hand - held tape recorder to give the song a haunted, (memory of good times in the past), feel.
