Free MP3 Download: Foster The People "Pumped up Kicks" (DJ Kue Remix)
Foster The People is one of the most exciting new alt pop acts to hit the scene this year. Hot on the heels of their breakthrough gig at Coachella and a blazing endorsement from none other than teen heartthrob Joe Jonas, the Los Angeles trio released their much-anticipated debut LP "Torches" last month.
The album is a refreshing blend of sun-drenched indie rock with catchy pop hooks that is embraced by both hipster kids and pop heads. Check out a dancefloor-ready remix of the group's buzz track "Pumped Up Kicks" by DJ Kue who puts a nice new touch on the original.
The group's vocalist Mark Foster explains in a recent interview that the zeitgeisty "Pumped Up Kicks" is a song about "a kid who is loosing his mind" and an outcast. "I feel like the youth in our culture are becoming more and more isolated. It's kind of an epidemic," he tells Spinner. "I love to write about characters. That's my style. I really like to get inside the heads of other people and try to walk in their shoes." (Download)
