The Naked and Famous Announce New Album Recover for May 2020 Release and Share Fruit-Filled New Video for “Bury Us”

New Zealand indie band The Naked and Famous have announced their upcoming album, Recover, set to be released in May of this year. The news comes accompanied with the release of the music video for the duo’s new single, “Bury Us,” which is set to be a part of the upcoming album, but there has not been an announcement of an official release date or tracklist for Recover.

The video shows a series of different fruits being sliced in prepared, all while the playful tune is heard in the background. With each new line of the song comes a new frame featuring a different fruit; pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, and other tropical fruits are all at the forefront of the video. The vibrance and colorful energy of the fruit represents the exuberant energy that the song, and ultimately the album will portray.

Though The Naked and Famous are relatively new to the indie scene, their use of electronics in their music has elevated them to international appeal. However, their latest album released in 2018, A Still Heart, showcased the band’s ability to turn to their acoustic roots. Though the sound on A Still Heart was different than the sound that the band is usually known for, it saw wide success, and helped The Naked and Famous cement themselves in the international electro-indie arena.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
