who went astray in the last few weeks on TV once VIVA, which could perhaps see between commercials and cartoons in a trailer that made sit up because of his music in the truest sense of the word

The song "Young Blood" of the New Zealand band The Naked And Famous jumped in their home country from zero to the top of the charts, has now been pushed featured in numerous American TV series and with us just by VIVA . As a single it is in Germany published today, about 4 weeks later (on 18.03.) followed by the album "Me Passive Aggressive You". This then comes back with a six-month delay in our record stores, is also decorated as New Zealand's number one and includes with "Punching In A Dream" at least another hit single.

If you want to know, might sound like would it be true, and successive Metric MGMT and M83 provided a remix of the one who should be "Me Passive, Aggressive You " eine Chance geben.
hört MGMT, Yeasayer und Cyndi Lauper aufeinander treffen:
Dreamy, whimsical and strange is the sound of The Naked and Famous, and they welcome you to their alternate world with their debut album,Passive Me, Aggressive You. The best way to describe Passive Me, Aggressive You is like the love child of Yeasayer and MGMT with their odd percussion and synth tones with a mix of psychedelic dream pop, enticing the listener into a mind spin of indie/pop delight. The Naked and Famous are actually not that famous, and unfortunately are not that naked either and hailing from New Zealand, Alisa Xayalith and Aaron Short are out to prove that they are at least, one of those things.
Passive Me, Aggressive You packs plenty of punches, especially with first single, ‘Punching In A Dream’.

Xayaliths vocals stick out like a sore thumb, and take some time to get used to, though they fit the deep pounding electro drums and looped synth lines so perfectly, that you’ll think you are back in the 80’s having the best time of your life.

The Naked and Famous have a sound that is enticing, dreaming, eclectic and pulsating. Their mix of indie, rock, electro and pop is done well, yet can come across as a bit samey and may not get a large replay factor from some of the lesser tracks. Still, The Naked and Famous have definitely stamped their name on the indie music scene of the moment, and produced a tantalizing offering Me in Passive, Aggressive You.
