Riding on the feverish heights reached by singles like Young Blood, Punching In A Dream and Girls Like You the album thrust the band into the limelight and onto the airwaves.<\/p>\n<p>TNAF set off in 2013 to tour In Rolling Waves but after just a few months on the road, there were storm clouds on the horizon. Alisa and Thom\u2019s relationship was the foundation of the band. As they said, \u201cWe started writing songs for The Naked and Famous the moment we got together at age 18.\u201d Eight years later, their relationship was in turmoil and soon so was the band.<\/p>\n<p>It was eventually agreed that working on a new album would become a regular Monday through Friday gig, the proper turning point coming in August of 2015 when they secured a small studio in Downtown LA to work in. Assistance on the album came from only a handful of individuals. Sombear (Brad Hale) has worked on other projects with Thom and contributes production to Higher and My Energy. Carlos de la Garza engineered and Ken Andrews (Paramore) mixed the record. Thom still produces with input only from the other band members.<\/p>\n<p>In the new album Simple Forms they are mixing alternative with pop. They ended up with a bright and very vocal album \u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re still incredibly self-sufficient,\u201d says Alisa. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky to have this.
