The Naked and Famous

Add Date: November 23 

Artist: The Naked and Famous 

Album: Passive Me, Aggressive You 

Label: Somewhat Damaged 

Genre: Electropop, dance rock 

Comments: New Zealand's The Naked and Famous churn out big-sounding synth pop anthems, with hints of New Young Pony Club-style dance rock, Yeah Yeah Yeahs-leaning indie rock, Oracular Spectacular-reminiscent electro psych pop, and even some M83esque shoegaze. Passive Me, Aggressive You, the latest LP from the 5-piece band--featuring the male/female vocals of Thom Powers and Alisa Xayalith--is a very enjoyable listen, highlighted by "Young Blood" and "Punching in a Dream."
