Ever since my friend Wendy Fonarow, also known as the

Professor of Indie Rock, introduced me to

Foster the People, I have not been able to stop listening to their single “

Pumped Up Kicks.” It’s at least a 3-times a day habit, and it was even worse before! Jason gave it a spin this morning during

Morning Becomes Eclectic

and you can hear it streaming below. It’s super catchy and perfect for fans of MGMT ‘s danceable debut. Enjoy!

Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks

UK’s The Guardian featured them as a band of the day today and I hear that they should have a full length out next year. Definitely keep an eye on these locals.
