The Naked And Famous are blooming New Zealanders Aaron Short, Alisa Xayalith, David Beadle, Jesse Wood, and Thom Powers. Off their September-released album, Passive Me, Aggressive You, the track “The Sun” does the most popping. While Passion Pit, MGMT, and Miike Snow serve as obvious electro-pop influences in their to-be, chart-lover “Punching in a Dream” and popularly uplifting single released mid-summer, “Young Blood,” this one shows a raged seductive sound–the likes of The xx. Its abstract elements highlight a soft side of singer Alisa Xayalith more than the fast-paced, thrilling and even occasionally punk rock counterparts featured on the 13-track record. The album truly flows through rousing highs and lows, allowing it to cater to everyone. But don’t take my word for it, sample “The Sun” for yourself.
