Calm down. You’re on the right site. And no, we’re not posting about Skins or devolved into an oddly timed fixation on celebrity booby shots. We have, however, posted this week’s Song of the Week, which comes from the Auckland band, The Naked and Famous. I’m told they’re usually fully clothed and, though they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves—touring like crazy and playing the many, many summer festivals in their native southern hemisphere (jealous)—I wouldn’t necessarily call them famous. That said, with a sound that straight-up sounds like a heavenly mish-mash of Passion Pit and MGMT, all signs point to some high-flying success once they kick it state-side this spring (in NYC, at Terminal 5 (booo) with Foals and Freelance Whales (yaaay) May 4). I’m sure they’ll eventually bore out their own space in the indie sonic soundscape (yes, that sentence DID rule), but, in the meantime, we’re content to enjoy them as are. As is? As are. Check out their superb “Punching in a Dream.” It sounds like summer. Glorious, glorious summer.
Also, seemingly, black jeans are SUPER-in in New Zealand…
