Foster the People, Torches, Sony Music

Torches is an album that could be considered to be a bait-and-switch of sorts, there will be those looking for another indie rock album that will not like the 80’s synth-pop vibe that runs through the majority of the album. The debut album from Foster the People is a fluffy and fun offering that won’t be appreciated by those looking for another “Pumped Up Kicks”.
