Foster the People - Paradise State of Mind (new album)

[POP!]

The third promo track was released yesterday, "Chasing Low Vibrations".

LOVE Lost In Space going full on campy cosmic disco. The new song is my least favourite so far but still up for the album.

 

[POP!]

Full album is out

I had a QUICK FLICK and there's some I really like on here, and will come back to.

I've only just realised really that these guys must be sort of pioneers in the new wave revival of 70s and 80s inspired indie-pop. Did anyone else do it earlier? I'm just now making the connection of how they have influenced everyone from Friendly Fires and Two Door Cinema Club to St Lucia and The 1975.

Maybe Cut Copy...

Liking this on first listen.

It is quite depressing just how long ago the omnipresence of Pumped Up Kicks was.

There is some good stuff here. I know he has always played with his voice but in a few places here there are things that don't sound very good... a soul falsetto he does not possess.

A few tracks share some sonic space with the recent album by Empire of the Sun, and between the two I do prefer that.

This album is really growing on me! My standout at the moment is See You In The Afterlife but also really loving the title track and Shangri-La. Wasn't familiar with Chasing Low Vibrations when it came out but love that one too.
