Track Description
Available in:
"Houdini" is a song by American indie pop group Foster the People from their debut studio album Torches. Written by the group's frontman Mark Foster, the song was first released as a promotional single exclusively in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2011. The song was released as the album's sixth single on May 15, 2012. It is featured on the soundtrack for video game SSX and in the episode "Yes, Then Zero" of Gossip Girl. The song appeared in the 2012 film LOL. It also appeared in the TV shows Awkward and Suits.

The music video for "Houdini" premiered on YouTube on April 26, 2012. James Mackey guest stars as the paramedic.

"Another jawdropping video by DANIELS - that's Daniels' Kwan and Scheinert - for Foster The People. And in this one for Houdini they kill the band...

Its another virtuoso piece of action-packed entertainment - with a hint of satire at the heartlessness of the music industry. FTP succumb to a falling lighting rig on the eve of a big show - and the show must go on. So the band get reanimated... And are better than ever. The follow-up to DANIELS' video for FTP's Don't Stop it was actually made before that one. In fact, Houdini is a year old - DANIELS directed it just after making their seminal Manchester Orchestra vid - but the label have held it back until now, due to the lengthy success of the Foster The People album." (Jimmy Brown, Promonews)
