The Naked and Famous are, in a word, damn cool. Okay, so that was two words... but they're really effing cool. If MGMT (circa Oracular Spectacular) and The xx were to have a child, that kid would be The Naked and Famous.Alisa Xayalith, Thom Powers, Aaron Short, Jesse Wood, and David Beadle have been garnering quite a bit of hype in their native Auckland, New Zealand since the release of their debut album Passive Me, Aggressive You. They will, without a doubt, stockpile similar plug everywhere else"¦ and soon.The Naked and Famous radiate killer vibes and hip energy. They sound like the 80s, only sexier. The sequence of tracks on Passive Me, Aggressive You vacillates between indie-pop, shoegaze, and electronica with skilled narration.Listen to it when you're driving in a Wrangler, chilling on a roof, skateboarding, walking around half-naked (or hanging with people that are half-naked), or (let's be real) doing drugs.
