It’s funny the way the world works. At Smith Westerns show the other night, I met a reader named Alex who recognized me from twitter. He told me to check out a band called The Naked and Famous. He described them as a mix of Passion Pit & LCD. Go figure that a few days later I would received a press email promoting the band.
So I checked out the bands music video for “Young Blood”. I would say they’re more of a mix of Passion Pit & MGMT (maybe The Pass too). In other words, it’s a sugar coated electro-pop delight. It’s very easy to like. Check it out:
