Funny how The Naked And Famous are neither. Has anyone made that joke yet? But yeah, they seemed to have a rough Year Of Our Lorde 2013, their latest album sideswiped in the alt-pop stakes when released in the same window as their compatriot. It probably wouldn’t have mattered either way. What We Want is a featherweight anthem, as if Angus & Julia Stone penned an arena-sized banger. This doesn’t bang, the electro elements of The Naked And Famous’ breakthrough diluted into insignificance, leaving very little in the way of something to hold on to.
