Video: HOORAY FOR EARTH - Surrounded By Your Friends

Hooray For Earth haven't been around for very long, but their impact on synth pop has been unmistakeable. Where their MOMO EP pushed boundaries, their True Loves LP shattered expectations in every way and made for one of the best records of 2011.

Enjoy, while Noel Heroux talks about the [...]

Hooray for Earth is a frighteningly innovative NYC band currently penciled in as THE hottest freshman act of the new decade.
