Torches is the first album by the Californian indie band Foster the People. This collection radiates sunshine with Motown influences, especially on Pumped up Kicks. Warning – anyone who enjoys songs from the more mirthless side of life should steer well clear as that’s not where Torches will take you. Singer Mark Foster and band-mates keep the tempo racing along in a direction that at times is pure pop – listen to Houdini. The summer is the perfect time for this release with its celebratory and sometimes experimental mix of drums, guitar, keyboards and synthesizers.
