The Naked & Famous - Young Blood Album: Passive Me, Aggressive You [2010]
listening to the naked and famous' full-length debut, one thing is clear: this band loves a good chorus. more often than not on the new zealand indie electronic ensembles's album, songs seem to be building to their catchy and cathartic pinnacle as soon as they start, like the immediately addictive single "young blood". every fuzzed-out synth, distorted drumbeat, and guitar line seems to foretell of an impending dance-rock orgy of melody. this layered and shimmering song is '80's post-punk-influenced rock that never sounds too indebted to any of its obvious touchstones. tears for fears and human league meet mgmt and wild nothing. sounds like summer.
