About the Album: Fitz and the Tantrums burst onto the scene in 2010 with their debut breakout hit, Pickin’ Up The Pieces. The group became known for their retro-soul leanings and jazz influenced vocals. While they haven’t totally dropped that sound, More Than Just a Dream definitely shows growth for the group. They’ve gotten into some electronic, new-wave and hip-hop arenas. Rolling Stone reports, “After wrapping their last major tour in February 2012, the band jumped head-first into a rehearsal space, writing a jaw-dropping 40 songs in a “delirious” 30-day sprint before entering Hollywood’s Sound Factory studios with producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Phoenix). Fitzpatrick credits Hoffer – who helped whittle down their sprawling demos to a trim 12 songs – for guiding the band’s blending of “the organic and the synthetic.””

Track Spotlight: “Out Of My League” is catchy and sure to be burning up summer playlists. Dare you not to get the hook stuck in your head.
