Rap
Rap

Foster the People is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Andrew VanWyngarden, The Chain Gang of 1974, Tokyo Police Club, MisterWives and Michigander. Those roots explain a lot about how Foster the People arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Two Door Cinema Club, Grouplove, Capital Cities, Sir Sly and Atlas Genius, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into RAC, Ewelina Lisowska, Maroon 5, Locked Out of Heaven and Klingande, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 36 connections around Foster the People, reaching back through Andrew VanWyngarden and forward to RAC.
