The Naked and Famous Share Tons of Details About Writing, Growth, Positivity of ‘Recover’

Los Angeles-based Indie electronic band, The Naked and Famous, which was founded by Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers, makes music that turns the paint on your walls to candy. The band, which released its latest LP, Recover, today, makes big, oceanic compositions with bright crests and at-times chilling sonic valleys. But, due to their years together and the close relationship that time has engendered, the band’s music can also be pared down to its bones and stand sturdy with simply two harmonizing voices and an electric guitar. From head-to-toe, The Naked and Famous, which was originally formed in Auckland, New Zealand, but now resides in the City of Angels, has created a formidable body of work.
