I won't hide - there is something about The Naked And Famous that I've always found... seductive. Not sure whether its the voice of Alisa Xayalith, the synth perfection or the superb drumming (the end of "Punching In A Dream" will be forever appreciated), but there is something about those guys. I consider Passive Me, Aggressive You (2010) as very influential as it is probably the sole reason why I got into the whole synth/electro pop genre!

Few months ago we warmed up with their "A Source Of Light" collaboration with Kids of 88. However, things are finally getting serious. The band is about to embark on tour and I just found out that the release date of their second album In Rolling Waves is set for 17th of September. That's not all - the lead single debuted earlier today on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 and its already on our favourite Soundcloud platform, so...enjoy!
