This week I can't get enough of the New Zealand band The Naked and Famous. Their album Passive Me, Aggressive You, released in September 2010, debuted at Number 1 in New Zealand but the band is only just appearing on the UK musical scene.
They have been described as a mixture of The xx and MGMT, which I think is very accurate. They are a perfect meeting point of the two bands, a little more upbeat/dubstep than The xx and a little more listenable and mellow than MGMT. They have also been nominated for the BBC's Sound of 2011.
Alisa Xayalith, David Beadle, Thom Powers, Aaron Short and Jesse Wood make a great combination. If you haven't heard their album yet, check them out! Especially Young Blood, Girls Like You and The Sun. I predict big things for these guys!
