The Naked and Famous are quickly becoming one of my favorite new bands. Let’s face it, I am a sucker for good sounding electo-pop. Their debut album, Passive Me, Aggressive You, was #1 in New Zealand, and now they’re making their ways over here. Passive Me, Aggressive You, comes out on March 15th. Don’t worry, I got some goodies that you can win.
For one lucky winner, I have a 7″ Vinyl of Young Blood that comes with the B side of “Crazy? Yes. Dumb? No!”. That’s not all. The winner will also get an autographed “Passive Me, Aggressive You” poster.
Sounds like a good deal, right? To win, all you have to do is leave a comment below listing some of your favorite electronic/dance albums of all time. I’ll pick one winner by February 15th.
Good luck!

The B-side; Crazy? Yes. Dumb? No! I am guessing is a cover of the hit single from eclectic New Zealand band the Mint Chicks. The song is really fun and catchy, you should check it out

Passion Pit is definitely the band that comes to mind here; Naked & Famous sometimes sound an awful lot like them, only with a female singer. Which is great, because Passion Pit’s album was one of my favorites of 2009
