The Naked and Famous: All of This Forever

The Naked and Famous make the kind of synth-pop that sounds like it’s trying to escape from inside your own head. There’s something about their production—clean, mechanical, but never cold—that gets under your skin. All of This Forever has that same restless energy they’ve always had, the sense that they’re chasing something they can’t quite name. I’ve never been able to shake them once they’re in rotation, which is both the appeal and the problem.
