Foster the People
Torches
★★★/5
This is the first full album from Foster the People. It’s electronic and synthy, but remains grounded in perfectly danceable pop. Torches can seem a little gimicky and cheesy at times, perhaps even unmemorable, but the tracks “Pumped Up K
icks” and “Don’t Stop” are pretty good. But the album does drag a bit, it gets repetitive, and you feel as if you’ve heard it all before, which may not be a completely a bad thing, But it gets strong again on the track “Miss You”
