I’ve avoided sourcing anything by ‘The Naked and Famous’ mainly because I thought the name was silly (which is fricken ridiculous), and now I hear that they took it from Tricky; which gives them instant props.

‘Young Blood’ however would convert even the most fickle – big sweeping synths provide the background to emotive and powerful vocals – somehow capturing the feeling of being young, in the sun, and having fun…apparently, it’s at the top of the charts and everything.

Yeah, it’s not summer here, but it is elsewhere – and as well as sending the listener to another place, the track, and it’s accompanying peers will take ‘The Naked and Famous’ places too; like one of the comments on their vimeo profile put it…”Trust me, this song is going to make you more famous than naked”. Nice.

Oh, and they’re kiwis.
