Phantogram premiered their third Three single, "Cruel World," on Beats 1 today. Featuring a drum machine sonic collage reminiscent of "Don't Move," the sharp, two and a half minute long track seems primed for car commercial levels of ubiquity, but would be one we wouldn't mind hearing around for a while.
Complete with the nice subtle touch of the warm fuzz of a vinyl spin like we first heard on "When I'm Small," the full recorded version of "Cruel World" with all its production tricks more than meets the expectations set when the duo debuted it at their Lollapalooza aftershow almost three weeks ago.
Three, which also includes previous singles "You Don't Get Me High Anymore" and "Run Run Blood," has had its release date pushed back and is now due out October 7th via Republic.
