Barthel and Carter were friends since junior high school. Barthel pursued a visual arts degree while Carter formed the experimental band Grand Habit. In the summer of 2007 they reunited and worked on finishing some beat ideas Carter made earlier. The duo was originally called Charlie Everywhere when performing around the Saratoga Springs area on the local label Sub-Bombin Records. When they signed to BBE Records they changed the name to Phantogram, to avoid legal issues.
In March 2009, they self-released a five song EP, Phantogram EP, which featured four songs that ended up being on the full length. In the same year they released another EP, Running From the Cops on BBE Records.
The band's debut album Eyelid Movies was released in September 2009, on BBE Records in Europe, and in February 2010, on Barsuk Records in the US. The album received generally favorable reviews. The singles "Mouthful of Diamonds", "When I'm Small" and "As Fas As I Can See" supported the album.
Phantogram have supported acts such as Metric, The xx, J-Live, Brazilian Girls and have toured with The Slip, Zero 7 and Minus the Bear.

In 1 November 2011, the band issued the EP Nightlife. This EP includes the single "Don't Move".
The duo collaborated with Big Boi from OutKast on three songs from his second studio album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors: "Objectum Sexuality (feat. Phantogram)", "CPU (feat. Phantogram)" and "Lines (feat. A$AP Rocky & Phantogram)". Phantogram are also credited as producers for the song "Objectum Sexuality".

When I'm Small
Phantogram Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in between
Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in too deep
Show me love
You've got your hand on the button now
Showin' love
You've got your hand on the button now
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Lucy's underground,
She's never comin' back
Am I still alive
Or has the light gone black
Take me underground
Take me all the way
Bring me to the fire
Throw me in the flame
So, show me love
You've got your hands on the button now
Showin' love
You've got your hand on the button now
I'd rather die,
I'd rather die,
Than to be with you
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, (than to be with you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh (I'd rather die)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in too deep
Show me love
You've got your hand on the button now

Lucy's underground
She's never coming back
Am I still alive
Or has the light gone black
Take me underground
Take me all the way
Bring me to the fire
Throw me in the flames
So show me love
You've got your hands on the button now
Sure enough
You've got your hand on the button now
I'd rather die
I'd rather die
Than to be with you"

She is a legit cool human. Talked to me for like a half hour after their set in StL, we talked poets and about failed parents. She is legit. I feel for the loss of her sister.

@Val What fulfilment does this comment bring you? What's wrong with you? I swear the last year has turned cynical people into absolute monsters. Go spread your discontent elsewhere. Negativity breeds negativity.
Val
Aye, she's legit because she talked to YOU for like a half hour... yep
Arpit Sharma
How much she paid you?

@- MAX - Hey you, I'm sorry you feel any guilt because of that missed call! You definitely are not the reason they followed through. I wish other ppl would've seen your post immediately. I really hope you are being kind to your self! You didn't do even a tiny percentage of a wrong...I hope you're healing and able to carry on because you are alive & have a special reason to life. Anyways, hugs

The song is actually about leaving an abusive relationship. Everybody is watching her and her 'crazy outbursts' hence the lights and the cameras. Once she says: 'I'd rather die than be with you' I feel tears welling up in my eyes even after the 789th time of listening to it. It hits home.

Thank you for bringing this up. I didn't know and it makes more sense to me now. I hope you are in a better place than what made you relate to it. Your experience is valid, so is the pain, and the growth that can come from it is real, too. Don't let anyone try to pull you down like lobsters in a bucket. You know only hurt people hurt people. But. you have to protect yourself and shield yourself from their BS. Sorry for rambling, but thank you.

@notImpressed Is that supposed to make people feel better about the trauma they faced from being abused???🤔
Arpit Sharma
I don't remember she telling me about that.
