Woah, two Polydor things in a row.. I'll be reviewing fucking Cast next (full disclosure - I actually bought their debut at the time.. I was like, thirteen, alright? Leave me alone!) I guess this must be a debut single because I've never heard of these before and I know everything that happens in the pop charts, like Brian Adams still being number one and how Chris Eubank said "At thixth it'th Suggth with 'Thethelia" the other day and it was well funny. I'm gonna mention the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for the third time this week because he A-side sounds VERY much like their recent, more synth-poppy indie disco stuff.. Albeit with the remaining rough edges shorn completely off, having been produced to within an inch of its life for maximum FM radio penetration. I actually quite like the slightly M83-esque B-side which is far less overdone.. It definitely suggests that they've potentially got something about them!

The Naked & Famous recently featured as the lead band in NME’s Radar section and The Fly’s Ones To Watch pages. The Guardian’s New Band Of The Day column also heaped praise on the band, labeling ‘Young Blood,’ “ecstatic, uplifting, thumping, pumping psych-dazed, rocked-up synth-pop that is all about affirmation.” NME called their music “enraptured, velveteen synth-pop wonderment
