Foster The People

Pumped Up Kicks

Columbia/3 Ent.

Released: Wednesday 22 June 2011

Sun-kissed Los Angeles slackers Foster the People will be banking on the British music buying public adopting this shimmering slice of indie-pop to soundtrack countless hazy parties this season. And there's no doubting it has all the requisite ingredients - hushed vocals, dainty percussion and a suitably poppy melody. Lifted from album Torches, expect Foster the People to burn brightly if the sun comes out to play at Glasto and Lovebox this summer. The question is: Will they still have the kids pumped up come the winter when they hit the road on a UK tour?
