This week, I want to talk about a different music style. So, I chose an American Indie pop band!
It’s Foster the People, created in 2009 in Los Angeles
They became known owing to their song “Pumped Up Kicks”, which was a viral success in 2010 and became a crossover hit on radio in 2011, after the release of their first album “Torches”. This album contains songs like “Don’t Stop (Color On The Walls)” and “Call It What You Want”, too.
In my opinion, their music is very interesting, even though it’s different of what I usually listen to. My favourite song of them is “Pumped Up Kicks”.
What do you think about them?
And are you forgetting that I need your propositions for my next posts? :P

So far my favourite is Foster the People. I'm definetely adding it to my playlist! It makes me think of The Shins. Check out the video Phantom Limb.
ReplyDeleteMe again: Woaaa! I'm listening to Pumped up Kicks, the beats sounds so joyful and light, but paying attention, the lyrics are really dramatic.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I didn't pay attention to the lyrics of Pumped up Kicks before, but now I do and I agree with you! For The Shins, the video Phantom Limb seems a little bit strange and I don't really understand the sense of the lyrics, but, yes, it sounds like Foster The People.
ReplyDeletePhantom Limb shows images of 3 historical events (acted out by children and the band in a theatre play). I'm sure you can recognise at least 2 of the events... The 3rd one is harder, the one with the snow. It's the Donner Party, Fa-sci-na-ting event... actually I learned about it thanks to this video!

ReplyDeleteMaybe you already know it, but you must listen to the song "Houdini" of this band. I'm sure you'll like it!
