Foster the People have officially begun their next chapter with the announcement of a new album called Paradise state of mind, which is scheduled for release on August 16 via his new label, Atlantic Records. As a preview, they have presented the first single, “Lost In Space”, in a disco tone.
“The album started out as a case study of the late '70s crossover between disco, funk, gospel, jazz and all those sounds,” Mark Foster shared in a statement. “It was such a beautiful moment where these different styles of music were intersecting with each other: artists like Nile Rogers and Chic, the Tom Tom Club and Giorgio Moroder.”
“Lost In Space” invokes moments of psychedelia, space age, '80s anthem and dramatic disco strings, achieving that decades-spanning energy that Foster described. “I’ll follow you anywhere,” the band sings in the euphoric, cheesy chorus. The song arrived with a music video directed by Rupert Höller.
While no additional tour dates have been confirmed, the band will celebrate the release of Paradise state of mind with an appearance at Austin City Limits, which takes place over two weekends in October.
