I adored this album the first day I got a hold of it. The album was played on repeat for the next few days. Torches is perfect for your seatbelt disco parties and pretty much anytime you feel the need to break out in dance. I caught myself tapping my feet, snapping my fingers, and even clapping (yes clapping) to songs on this album. “Pumped Up Kicks” was the first song to reel me in then after seeing them at Sasquatch this year I was hooked. “Torches” being the bands debut release, excites me even more for what’s to come! I am a sucker for their whistles, owh’s, and pop hooks… I can’t wait to see these guys in concert again. Torches is worth your cash, I would pick up the album if you don’t already have it today.
