This is one of the catchiest songs I’ve heard in months. I had no idea that this group even existed until I heard the tail end of this song a few times on the radio. Now that I’ve heard them, I’m hooked, and I’m looking forward to buying a copy of their first album – Torches. These guys sound a lot like Gorillaz to me, but they certainly don’t share their visual style. These guys remind me of a bunch of surfer boys dressed like hipsters, at least if this music video is any indication – and speaking of the music video, I have no idea what the video content has to do with the song, if anything. There are no bullets, or outrunning of bullets – just hipsters playing billiards and wandering around and pretending to sing.
You can find out more about Foster The People on their official website, including live shows and samples of their music.
