After a whirl-wind year of touring, Foster the People — known for their synth-laced hazy pop — brought an acoustic set to The Current studio. The California trio spoke to Mark Wheat about their love of surfing, touring, and the German website that kickstarted their internet buzz.

Songs Played: "Pumped Up Kicks," "Houdini," and "Helena Beat."
