American rock band

Foster the People hit you hard with Torches back in 2012 and stuck around — that indie-pop-meets-synth-pop sweetness from the early 2010s speaks to something you keep returning to, even if it's sparse. "Pumped Up Kicks" alone became a perennial earworm, the kind of deceptively catchy track that hides darker edges under a dance-pop sheen.
