Four years, a full-length debut album (2011's Torches), numerous tours, and two Grammy nominations later, Foster the People are a tested live act with a strong, expectant fan base. The band's 2014 sophomore album, Supermodel, finds Foster and company sticking to their winning pop formula, while evincing a more organic, less claustrophobic studio sound. Produced by Foster, along with Paul Epworth (Adele, Bruno Mars, Florence + the Machine), Supermodel is full of infectious, dance-oriented music that touches upon '80s-influenced dance-rock (\"Coming of Age\"), soulful psychedelia (\"Pseudologia Fantastica\"), and melodic acoustic rock (\"Ask Yourself\") in equal measure. Prior to \"Pumped Up Kicks,\" Foster the People were pretty much a studio entity, and Supermodel does reveal a more live-sounding aesthetic that feels bigger and more Technicolor in approach than Torches. Epworth and Foster expand the group's sound with brassy horns, echo-chamber guitars, gigantic, circular drumbeats, shimmery synthesizers, and, in the case of \"The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones,\" layered, Beach Boys-influenced group harmonies. Once again, Foster proves his knack for coming up with hummable pop hooks, and tracks like the funky \"Best Friend\" and Afro-pop-infused \"Are You What You Want to Be?\" stick in your ears as much as they get your feet tapping. Additionally, if Torches scratched the surface of twenty-something angst, then Supermodel takes that exploration a few steps deeper, revealing a more introspective, enigmatic, world-weary tone. On \"Pseudologia Fantastica,\" Foster croons, \"Faded and worn at the seams\/A psychotropic wanderlust\/Sick and laughing their words\/Bared their teeth into the wall\/I promised I'd rid this world of feral animals.\" ~ Matt Collar\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ALT\/INDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/18\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *SEALED*","offer_id":48158768169219,"sku":"RTEKPY-5ZMD-00","price":23.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/supermodel-180-gram-vinyl-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
