Foster the People - Torches

Review by Dannii Leivers

At no point on Torches is there any sense of edge, of losing control.»

Buy now from:

'torches', the highly anticipated debut album by foster the people, is the soundtrack for an eternal summer. produced by paul epworth (adele and florence and the machine), rich costey (muse and interpol), and greg kurstin (beck and red hot chili peppers), 'torches' delivers on both the promise of their breakthrough chart-topping single 'pumped up kicks' and the promise of this young band out of los angeles. the group's global sound alludes to something like a fusion of mgmt and passion pit's signature electronica stylings, with a hint of two door cinema club thrown in the mix.
