The Naked and Famous, a new pop group from New Zealand, have possibly outdone Foster The People on jam of the summer. This track off their upcoming album due out in August is pure pop bliss. The infectious chorus is reminiscent of Passion Pit’s “The Reeling” and “Little Secrets” with a dash of MGMT’s “Electric Feel” and a touch of Does It Offend You Yeah’s “Dawn of the Dead”. Usually mixing all those different similar sounds makes for musical hipster puke but this band pulls it off with an effortless cool-factor. This is the kinda song that makes you feel like you’re young and invincible and summer is endless.

I first heard this song on DJ B-Roc of The Knocks Transplant II which is a stellar mixtape for your summer fiesta’s. If you dig this song you’ll really dig this mix of indie rock/pop gems. Listen to and get the Transplant II here.
