Ahead of the 10th anniversary reissue of Foster the People's 'Torches,' Mark Foster spoke with Billboard about the album's enduing impact on fans a decade later.
on Friday . The album includesoriginal 10 tracks, five fan favorite B-side tracks , four remixes and a reimaged version of"Pumped Up Kicks" with Gus Dapperton for a new generation of listeners.standing the test of time, how he originally felt about the record when it released in 2011 and whether or not the band will retire"Pumped Up Kicks" from their live shows for good.Honestly, yeah. I haven't really wrapped my head around it. I started to realize that in the last year.
I think every artist wants to be relevant or wants to know that they made some kind of an impact and I really wasn't sure that I did with. Now it's like,"Mark, if you were to stop now and retire now, you can still walk away feeling like you helped kids get through a really hard part of their life" -- because I thinkcarries that message of,"I know it's really hard right now, but it's gonna it's gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.
Well,"Pumped Up Kicks" was already getting played on the radio and it took on a life of its own, so we had no control over that. It was because it was already being played before we even signed our record deal -- that was already the introduction to the band. But when I wrote it, it was just like any other song to me. I was shocked at the response.
I remember the early conversations with the guys when it started to go viral. I was pretty scared actually. I was like,"God, I'm going to have to talk about this so much. Out of all the songs that I've written about hope, love and things in life that are really positive, this is the one that is going to introduce the world to the band." I was kind of beside myself.
