Foster The People Announce “Paradise State Of Mind Tour”

Highlights include stops at such prestigious venues as Los Angeles, CA’s Hollywood Palladium (February 6), Las Vegas, NV’s Fontainebleau Las Vegas (February 8), Chicago, IL’s The Salt Shed (February 15), Brooklyn, NY’s Brooklyn Paramount (February 24), and Atlanta, GA’s Tabernacle (February 28).

The eagerly awaited tour celebrates the recent arrival of Foster The People’s acclaimed new album, Paradise State of Mind, available now via Atlantic Records here. Produced by Foster The People lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mark Foster and bandmate Isom Innis with contributions from Paul Epworth, Jack Peñate, Chrome Sparks, and Asa Taccone at studios in London and Los Angeles (including East West Studios’ famed Studio Three, the room where The Beach Boys recorded Pet Sounds), the album is highlighted by such acclaimed tracks as “Chasing Low Vibrations,” “Take Me Back” and the cosmically catchy first single, “Lost In Space.” Hailed by Consequence for “(invoking) moments of psychedelia, the space age, the anthemic of the ’80s, and dramatic disco strings,” the latter track arrived alongside an official music video directed by award-winning filmmaker Rupert Höller and currently boasting over 1.5 million views here. The band also recently released the “Lost in Space (PNAU Remix).” The Remix is out everywhere now here.

“I think the trickiest part about this record was trying to be authentic about what had been going on with me,” says Mark Foster, “without writing something super dark and without glossing over it, either. Because, to me, it was really important that hope remain at the core of this whole thing. People need hope. I need hope. And when I think about what hope is – it’s having the courage to walk towards something that you think can be better, while fully acknowledging the darkness and reality around you. That was the goal, walking into this album, which was actually really tricky – to make something that rang true to what was on my mind, but that had this much groove and that would be fun to dance to. You know, to me, they’re like Trojan Horses, the message is hiding in the melody.”

Foster The People continue to celebrate Paradise State of Mind with a top-billed appearance at Austin, TX’s Austin City Limits Music Festival, both last weekend Friday, October 4th and this Friday, October 11. Foster The People first marked the album’s arrival this summer with an intimate pair of sold-out live dates at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom and Los Angeles, CA’s The Roxy Theatre.
