Indie pop progenitors The Naked and Famous are set to triumphantly return in 2020 with the release of their much-anticipated new album Recover slated for May.
Today, the duo shares their second single ‘Bury Us’, a dancefloor-ready slice of indie pop bliss that captures the energy and essence of the album. The song was recently featured in the US during halftime of the NFL’s Thursday Night Football game, garnering over 15 million viewers. ‘Bury Us’ follows their first single, ‘Sunseeker’, which recently hit #1 most played on triple j in Australia and added to local playlists such as Apple’s Heaps Indie and Jumpstart and Spotify’s Front Left, Indie Arrivals, Pop Edge and Indie Pop.

Reformed as a duo (founding members Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers), The Naked and Famous’ forthcoming LP reasserts the group as one of modern indie-pop’s most exciting sonic trailblazers, taking them to emotionally inspired depths, while maintaining the fresh effervescence that has led to over 600 million collective streams to date.
While they have sonically mastered the art of dreamy, hook-laden synth-pop, The Naked and Famous have stuck to their guns as far as intimate storytelling. Recover is largely an autobiographical record rooted in a powerful sentiment of survival, and of the very human process of self-preservation — of saving, choosing and celebrating oneself in a world constantly trying to put us down.
Of the new record, Powers says “Recover is about the duo “recovering ourselves, and our artistic vessel. The album is a statement of creative healing and a vehicle to plow forwards into our own future. We hope that the messages of healing and resilience have some effect on its listeners.”
The band’s first shows of 2020 will take place in Australia for the annual Wine Machine Festival joining other acts such as Young Franco, Alice Ivy and Northeast Party House.

ABOUT THE NAKED AND FAMOUS
Originally from Auckland, The Naked and Famous formed soon after Xayalith (the daughter of Laotian refugees) crossed paths with Powers while the two were attending music college. The band put out the EPs ‘This Machine’ and ‘No Light’ in 2008, then made their full-length debut with ‘Passive Me • Aggressive You’ — a 2010 release featuring their platinum-selling breakthrough hit “Young Blood.” As the album climbed the Billboard 200 chart and earned countless accolades (including seven prizes at the New Zealand Music Awards), the band toured across the globe.
They finally landed in L.A., living together in Laurel Canyon. Arriving on New Year’s Day in 2013, The Naked and Famous’ sophomore album ‘In Rolling Waves’ cracked the top 50 on the Billboard 200, boosted by hit singles like “Hearts Like Ours.” Their third LP, their most complex and compelling work to date, ‘Simple Forms’ was released in 2016.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
