Name Origin:
The band name was partially inspired by an optical illusion called a phantogram, in which two-dimensional
images appear to be three-dimensional.
Sarah Barthel explained:
"We see ourselves as a 2 dimensional band making 3 dimensional sound. We wanted a name that was visually
captivating with double meanings. A Phantogram to us before we even looked
up the definition was a message from a ghost."
