All The Naked And Famous do is deliver hits. The New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based electronic pop group first crashed our playlists with 2010’s incredible Passive Me, Aggressive You album, which birthed modern standards like “Punching in a Dream” and “Girls Like You”. Fast forward six years, and the band’s third album, Simple Forms, is set for release October 14, and it’s already shaping up nicely.
In July we hyped the LP’s lead single “Higher”, and now comes another catchy-ass jam by the name of “Laid Low.” The lyric video for the punchy glow-pop track dropped a few weeks ago, and you can catch up on it below via YouTube.
Next week, the Naked And Famous head out on a criss-crossing North American tour that kicks off September 21 in Tuscon, Arizona and wraps November 30 in Oakland, California. Along they way, they play Royale in Boston on November 10, a very impressible triple-header bill with XYLØ and The Chain Gang of 1974.
Listen to “Laid Low” below, and pre-order Simple Forms here.
