The Sun (Where’s My Head)

The Naked and Famous make the kind of indie pop that gets into your head and stays there, all bright synthesizers and these driving rhythms that make you feel like something’s about to happen. The Sun (Where’s My Head) has that quality—restless, a little dreamy, the vocals sitting back in the mix like someone thinking out loud over coffee at three in the afternoon. New Zealand does this particular flavor of pop really well, caught between cerebral and bodily, and this song lives right there in that middle ground. It’s the kind of thing that makes sense when you’re moving through a city, or driving somewhere you don’t especially want to go. Not transcendent, but real.
