Sacred Hearts Club by Foster The People
Sacred Hearts Club is an album by Foster The People, released in 2017. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 18 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sit Next To Me”, on 18 lists with a best position of #2.
Sacred Hearts Club, Foster the People's third album, arrived on Columbia on July 21, 2017, and it swaps the acoustic, many-handed sprawl of Supermodel for something built to move: soul grooves, dance-floor pulse and electronic sheen, all still wrapped around Mark Foster's indie-pop hooks. It's the first album with longtime touring hands Isom Innis and Sean Cimino as full members, and the last with drummer Mark Pontius, and it was teased first by III, an EP carrying three of its songs.
The lyrics chase love, politics, fame and youth, and as ever the words often pull against the bright, bouncing music. Critics admired the risk-taking but grumbled that it didn't hang together. "Sit Next to Me" won people over anyway: it climbed to number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went quadruple platinum, and the album itself went gold in the US.
