Ever since I heard "Pumped up kicks" from foster The Peoples first album, I fell in love with this band. Their first album, Torches, was an international success and one of the best indie albums I can suggest (highly recommend you give it a listen!). After an extremely long tour, the band went back to the recording studio (finally) and made another great indie album, filled with fun, different music that inspires me to sing. This great album, Supermodel, maintains a indie pop rhythm that seems mostly upbeat, while the song themes in themselves have a more negative tone. This album is mostly described as a social critique to the capitalist society we live in, if you pay attention to the songs lyrics you can see these points raised by the band.
Interesting tracks:
~A Beginner's Guide To Destroying The Moon, a great song that makes great use of the singers falsetto voice.
~Best Friend, a track with a cooler vibe that makes great use of the singers voices again by wrapping them various times.
~Are You What You Want To Be, a semi-inspirational track that keeps an upbeat rhythm with foreign instruments.
~Goats In Trees... It's a strangely relaxing song that draws a line between depression and happiness. Just listen to it.
Overall, this album is great and I think you should definitely give it a listen if you like indie pop/alt rock (because I have no idea how to genrefy this). Although this bands masterpiece is still their debut album, this one gives this band great credit.
