The Naked and Famous, the New Zealand indie electronic ensemble are known for its effusively melodic anthems, influenced by post-punk and synth-pop dance-oriented '80s-style. Buoyed by the song 'Young Blood,' the band broke through with Passive Me, Aggressive You, their 2010 debut. They have grown only in sophistication, offering profoundly emotional, synth-inflected albums such as Simple Forms 2016 and A Still Heart, 2018’s acoustic-production.
The band formed in 2008 and released two EPs before adding members to perform live, based around the talents of vocalist Alisa Xayalith and instrumentalist/vocalist Thom Powers. In 2010 they released their debut album, Passive Me, Aggressive You, featuring the number one single 'Young Blood.' The band went on a grand world tour supporting their debut, playing more than 200 dates. In 2016, the Naked and Famous returned with their third full-length album, Simple Forms. The album came after an extended hiatus. In 2018, they delivered A Still Heart, which featured acoustic versions of songs off their previous albums. The band will be releasing Recover, their first album to showcase the pair as a duo in 2020.
