Review & Description
The Naked And Famous' first single, "Young Blood," originally released as a seven inch on the ultra-hip Neon Gold label, and now available on digital platforms, serves as the perfect gateway into the New Zealand quintet's exquisite dream pop, oscillating between a calculatedly energetic beat, glitch-y rhythms, and airy synths underneath the gorgeous dual vocals of Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers.
After a live in session U.S. debut on KCRW's tastemaker radio show, "Morning Becomes Eclectic," "Young Blood" has begun its journey across college (currently Top 10 at CMJ), alternative and modern rock airwaves, entrancing listeners everywhere.
THE NAKED AND FAMOUS have quickly become firmly entrenched in the international pop culture consciousness. PASSIVE ME AGGRESSIVE YOU earned a tri fecta of number ones in New Zealand. It debuted at #1 on the New Zealand album charts, "Young Blood" was a #1 single, and the album was voted critics #1 album of 2010 by The New Zealand Herald. In the UK, the band was one of 15 chosen on the BBC's coveted "Sounds of 2011" list and NME's Ones To Watch list for 2011."
That fervor surrounding THE NAKED AND FAMOUS has spread to the United States instantly. PASSIVE ME AGGRESSIVE YOU was #15 on MySpace's "Best Albums of 2010" list, and the site announced, "This is likely to be the only album here that will turn up on your Best of 2011 list, too." LA Weekly writes, "TNAF has all the right ingredients", while Filter Magazine says, "Expect great things to come from this band."
