FOSTER THE PEOPLE "torches" cd, 2011
a long overdue revisit...
their debut of three, i own this and the follow-up...
follow-up isnt anywhere near as good...
straightforward pop tunes on here with most having a similar feel to the hit 'pumped up kicks'...
album does fall slightly flat towards the end due to the similarity of the songs, but those ones are still okay..
nothing not to like on here and two or three stand outs, but none as much as the above mentioned hit...
had no idea lead vocalist Mark Foster was married to the insatiable Julia Garner .Damn! so jealous of the dude!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
found this version on YT,
not sure if it is meant to be a parody or to be taken seriously...
sung by a guy from Peru called Tongo,
he is singing it in Peruvian, Spanish and his broken English,
i thought it was entertaining, well, moreso than listening to Korean Psy anyway.
