After a buzz-worthy cover of Eric Clapton’s “Cocaine” and over 7 million hits on their remix of Rihanna’s “Work,” L.A. electro darlings Phantoms have finally announced their full-length, self-titled debut LP – out March 31 via Casablanca/Republic.

The duo, comprised of Vinnie Pergola and Kyle Kaplan, met in an acting class (so L.A.) and decided to to steer their talents in a different direction. Their latest single, “Pulling Me In,” as yet another taste of what to expect on the album. It’s a funky, synth-loaded dance jam about an inexplicable yearning to crawl back to toxic lovers. It may seem like a depressing tone to take on, but in typical Phantoms style, the song is a rousingly great time wrapped in just over 3 minutes that hurt so good. “We definitely wanted to put it against the backdrop of an upbeat song, because it’s celebrating the fact that you’re screwed,” Kaplan told Billboard. If only we could all be so celebratory when it comes to the woes of love.
