Foster the People

"Machu Picchu" (the Strokes cover)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Dec 1, 2011

California radio darlings Foster the People have spent the year churning out indie pop for the masses this year with their album Torches. Now they've recorded a cover of the Strokes' "Machu Picchu" for an appearance on BBC Radio 1.

The track originally appeared on Strokes' Angles, though Foster the People's version swaps the original's crisp guitar work in favour of a synth-y, reggae feel.
