Portishead’s Geoff Barrow Says Phantogram Ripped Him Off, Too

Last year, Geoff Barrow accused Abel Tesfaye of sampling Portishead track "Machine Gun" on the Weeknd's "Belong To The World" (which he denied) and brought it up again in May when he shared a sampling clearance letter that Tesafaye's label had sent the artist. Now, Barrow has also accused Phantogram of sampling him without permission. He tweeted at the band twice over the past week, both times linking to a WhoSampled page that claims that on the 2009 song "When I'm Small," Phantogram sampled a Jimi Ently Sound track called "Charlie's Theme" that Barrow played drums on. Barrow also points out that they've licensed the song to Gillette. Phantogram has not responded to the accusation yet. Compare the two tracks below.
