Paradise State of Mind is the fourth studio album by American indie pop band Foster the People, released on August 16, 2024, through Atlantic Records, their first under the label. It is the band's first studio album since the release of Sacred Hearts Club in 2017, although they released an EP and a number of non-album singles during the seven-year gap. The album is primarily influenced by the musical landscape of the late 1970s with elements of disco, funk, gospel, and jazz, with songwriting inspired by such cultural events as the COVID-19 pandemic. Foster has stated his fascination with the music of the 1970s decade contrasted with the political, social and cultural changes of that time, drawing a parallel between the 1970s and the 2020s. It is also more of an analog record with less use of digital sounds and instrumentation compared to their previous albums. The first single, disco-toned "Lost in Space", was released on May 31, 2024. The second single "Take Me Back" was released on June 28, 2024. The third single "Chasing Low Vibrations" was released on July 26, 2024.
