Fearing every artists’ worst nightmare known as the sophomore slump, Foster the People’s new album titled “Supermodel” is in the middle of the better or the worst.

On Mar. 14, FTP released their second album after two months of their single, “Coming of Age” was released. A great song used as an introduction to the album since it displays the band’s signature sound: a mix of retro felt pop and a hint of indie.

Songs like “Coming of Age” and “Best Friend” are your typical FTP songs with the right mix of indie pop while “Are You What You Want To Be” and “Ask Yourself” lean more towards indie rock.

“Nevermind,” “Goats In Trees” and “Fire Escape” are songs that fans would not expect from FTP since they are acoustic but they’re both surprisingly catchy and pleasant to listen to. “The Angelic Welcome of Mr. Jones” is the most confusing song in the album considering it’s just 35 seconds of an acapella harmony.

Although “A Beginners Guide To Destroying The Moon” and “The Truth” are songs that listeners may not enjoy due to the distorted noises, they’re the type of songs that grow on you the more you listen to them.

Since the band has always been compared to MGMT with their electronic pop sound, FTP attempted to incorporate more of their indie vibe into their new album which led to a lot of the songs sounding more like a demo. However, this concept can be overlooked by listeners who can still enjoy their new music.

Overall, audiences can expect a brand new feel of the band with a tinge of their old vibe. From “Torches” to “Supermodel,” Foster the People is definitely evolving through their music by switching to a more mature sound filled with lyrical depth.
