Los-Angeles-based indie duo Foxygen will be releasing their third album entitled …And Star Power, set to debut in the US on October 14th. Sam France (vocals) and Jonathan Rado (guitar/keyboard) have been making music together since 2005 when they were 15-year-old high-school freshmen. Before being signed to Jagjaguwar- the label that released their EP Take The Kids Off Broadway in 2012, and the full-length We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic in early 2013- the twosome home-recorded and self-distributed about ten albums throughout their high-school career.
The video for their single “How Can You Really” features the now-22-year-old’s in a typical office space, dancing across cubicles and performing in a warehouse. The obscure, upbeat duo appear donned in sequins and suits, showcasing their mellow vocals and exquisite melody. The unique fervor and regressive dance moves of France and Rado don’t distract from the pure modernity of their sound.
Foxygen is currently on a North-American tour. …And Star Power is available for pre-order- you can watch the video for How Can You Really below:

Love these guys – bummer I missed them at Firefly 2013. The new track is catchy and different, but very “them.” Good stuff.
