Foster the People - Supermodel

Review by Luke Beardsworth

Foster the People have created a dark, introspective, yet thoroughly catchy record that proves they deserve the success that they’ve created for themselves with ‘Pumped Up Kicks’.»

Foster the People return with their second album. On 'Supermodel', Foster the People more often than not sound like a less electronic Django Django. They're taking up worldbeat, while showcasing a range of influences constructed through their recording process in Morocco with Paul Epworth. The accumulation of genres ranging from twee, glitch, and pop, make for an entertaining listen at the very least. With pre-release single 'Coming of Age', you can really hear these mixed genres coming together to create a sound truly held by Foster the People as their own.
