Foster The People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2009 by lead vocalist Mark Foster. Their music interweaves various musical genres, including rock, synth-pop, and dance music, creating a sound that's both unique and commercially appealing. Foster The People garnered a substantial following after their breakthrough hit "Pumped Up Kicks" became a viral success in 2010. This track, known for its catchy melody juxtaposed with dark lyrics, put them on the map and led to their critically acclaimed debut album, "Torches," released in 2011.

Over the years, Foster The People has showcased a consistent evolution in their music, experimenting with different sounds and addressing various themes through their lyrics. They have released multiple albums and EPs, including "Supermodel" (2014) and "Sacred Hearts Club" (2017), which continued to build their reputation as innovators within the indie music scene. Their discography often reflects social commentary and dives into introspective realms. The band, which has undergone several line-up changes, remains centered around Foster's vision, embracing collaboration and the exploration of new musical horizons, as seen in their recent remixes and tracks like "Lamb's Wool" in collaboration with Poolside and the EP "In The Darkest Of Nights, Let The Birds Sing."
