Foxygen Take The Kids Off Broadway

Foxygen is the raw, de-Wes Anderson-ization of The Rolling Stones, Kinks, Velvets, Bowie, etc. that a whole mess of young people desperately need. They create a sometimes-impressionistic, sometimes-hyper-real portrait of sounds from specific places and times. Yet it never comes across as anything but absolutely modern music. They bring the manic energy of someone like Ariel Pink to those aforementioned influences to make for one of the most refreshing listens of the year.
