In Rolling Waves follows the band’s widely lauded debut album Passive Me, Aggressive You. The half-million selling debut spawned the international hit ‘Young Blood’, a track that went Gold in the US and Canada, Platinum in New Zealand and Australia, while also amassing over 25 million YouTube and Vevo views.

In 2012, after two years of almost constant touring, the New Zealand five-piece set up home in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles to begin work on the twelve track album.

Produced by singer Thom Powers and keyboardist Aaron Short, In Rolling Waves also credits Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Beck and NIN) with co-production on two tracks. Alan Moulder mixed In Rolling Waves at his Assault and Battery Studio in London.

In 2013 The Naked And Famous are matured and determined to deliver new music to their fans as soon as possible. “Every song feels like it's in the middle of something. It's not after the fact, it's momentary,” says Thom. “I feel like the whole record has had this ‘less is more’ approach. It feels more vital.” Vital? Certainly. Exhilarating? Definitely.
