About This Track
Phantogram's Josh Carter produced and engineered "Mouthful of Diamonds," layering Sarah Barthel's vocals with a magnetic rhythm that belies the song's darker themes. The title itself hints at hidden truths and desperate measures: a mouthful of diamonds may allude to African mine workers concealing stolen gems, or to someone blurting out secrets while drunk. The track was later sampled by A$AP Twelvyy.
