It's hard to find the right balance between smart and accessible, but New Zealand act the Naked and Famous have done just that with their debut album, 'Passive Me, Aggressive You,' which is seeing its release in the states this week. Filled with rock-leaning electro-pop jams, songs like the anthemic "Young Blood" are already drawing rave reviews and fawning comparisons to bands like MGMT and Passion Pit, making them one of SXSW true must-see acts this week. While the band begins their ascent to stardom in Austin this week, the Naked and Famous were kind enough to provide MOG with an exclusive playlist of songs that influenced their debut album, including killer tunes by Crystal Castles, Thom Yorke, and many more.
