介绍

拥抱人群乐团（英语：Foster the People），一个来自于美国加州洛杉矶的独立音乐乐团，于2009年由主唱马克·福斯特（Mark Foster）、贝斯手“卡比”雅各布·芬克（Jacob "Cubbie" Fink）和鼓手马克·庞蒂斯（Mark Pontius）创立。

在洛杉矶当了数年的广告歌曲写手后，福斯特于2009年创立乐团。2010年，在以一曲〈Pumped Up Kicks〉取得莫大成功后，乐团获得了与唱片公司Startime的合约，并透过小型俱乐部和音乐节的表演建立粉丝群。在2011年5月发行首张专辑《燃烧自己照亮你》后，〈Pumped Up Kicks〉成为了该年最热门的跨界音乐，并在告示牌百强单曲榜上排名第三，同样上榜的还有该专辑的另两首单曲：〈Helena Beat〉和〈Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)〉。同时乐团也因专辑《燃烧自己照亮你》、单曲〈Pumped Up Kicks〉及单曲〈Houdini〉的MV分别于2012年、2013年获得共三个格莱美奖的提名。

经过两年的巡演后，2014年1月，拥抱人群乐团释出首波主打单曲〈Coming of Age〉，并于同年3月发行了第二张专辑《假面名模》。2017年7月，在乐团发行第三张专辑《圣心俱乐部》的同时，两名巡演成员：吉他手肖恩·西米诺（Sean Cimino）和键盘手伊索·因尼斯（Isom Innis）正式成为乐团成员。

Foster the People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2009. Its members include founder and frontman Mark Foster and keyboardist Isom Innis.

Foster founded the band in 2009 after spending several years in Los Angeles as a struggling musician and working as a commercial jingle writer. After Foster's song "Pumped Up Kicks" became a viral success in 2010, the group received a record deal from Startime International and gained a fanbase through small club shows and appearances at music festivals. After releasing their debut album, Torches, in May 2011, "Pumped Up Kicks" became a crossover hit on commercial radio in mid-2011 and eventually reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The record also featured the singles "Helena Beat" and "Houdini". The group received three Grammy Award nominations for Torches and "Pumped Up Kicks".

After touring for two years in support of Torches, Foster the People released their second album, Supermodel, in March 2014. It was preceded by the lead single "Coming of Age". In July 2017, the band released their third studio album, Sacred Hearts Club, with the addition of Isom Innis and Sean Cimino, both former touring members, to the official lineup. From this album, their song "Sit Next to Me" peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA. Between 2018 and 2021, the band released a number of singles, one EP and one album reissue. A new single titled "Lost in Space" was released on May 31, 2024. Their fourth album, Paradise State of Mind, was released on August 16, 2024, to mostly positive reviews.

History

2008–2009: Background and formation

Mark Foster graduated from Nordonia High School in the Cleveland-Akron suburb of Macedonia, Ohio, in 2002. With his father's encouragement, Foster moved in with his uncle in Sylmar, Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in music. Foster worked various jobs and at night, he attended parties in Hollywood to expand his social network. He said, "I felt like an 18-year-old Hunter S. Thompson. I was just diving into this Hollywood Hills subculture and taking it all in. I wasn't shy about taking my guitar out at a party. I wanted to be the center of attention." Foster struggled with drug addiction during his initial years in Los Angeles, saying, "It got pretty dark. My friends thought I was going to die. I was blind to it. When I was 19 years old, it got to a point where I said, 'Enough is enough' ... I saw time was just passing me by. I wasn't being productive."
