Paradise State of Mind

Paradise State of Mind is the upcoming fourth studio album by American indie pop band Foster the People, set to be released on August 16, 2024, through Atlantic Records, their first under the label. It is the band's first studio album since the release of Sacred Hearts Club in 2017, although they released a number of non-album singles and EPs in between the seven year gap. The album draws its roots from the musical landscape of the late 1970s with elements of disco, funk, gospel, and jazz, with songwriting inspired by such cultural events as the COVID-19 pandemic. Foster has stated his fascination with the music of the 1970s decade contrasted with the political, social and cultural changes of that time, drawing a parallel between the societal changes of the 1970s and the 2020s. The first single, disco-toned "Lost in Space", was released on May 31, 2024. The second single “Take Me Back” was released on June 28, 2024. It is the band's first album not to feature their drummer Mark Pontius after his departure from the band in October 2021. It is also the band's final album to feature guitarist Sean Cimino as he departed from the band three months before the album's release.
