The Naked And Famous Climb ‘Higher’

The indie electronic band hails from Auckland, New Zealand, and relocated to Los Angeles in 2012. Its debut, Passive Me, Aggressive You, was released in 2010 and includes the tracks “Young Blood” and “Punching In A Dream.”

TNAF’s third studio album, Simple Forms, is set to drop Oct. 14. The lead single, “Higher,” is available now. Lead vocalist Alisa Xayalith spoke to Consequence of Sound about the track.

“It’s been two years since we came off the road and a lot of life has happened in and all around us. We’ve been broken here and picked ourselves up again — so maybe this chorus talks a little to that experience…love, grief, time passing and returning to a place where we are lucky to have each other,” Xayalith said.
