la-baserede foreign born , hvis frontmand også er med i fool's gold , har sammen med den superdygtige matthew lessner lavet et fantastisk stykke livsdokumentation på super 8mm-film. svedige som fuck udforsker bandet nye horisonter på en californisk ø og har det alt for lækkert - punktum. de udgav debutalbummet 'person to person' tilbage i juni på secretely canadian , men har først hørt om dem nu. cool eskapistisk indie-rock fra der, hvor solen altid skinner. Early Warnings - Foreign Born
Creating a Top 50 Albums list is never easy. You have to battle with what you think the world believes, and what you truly believe in your heart, to be solid jams. We have even more trouble because we have to three writers, all who have different ideas, and we have to make those ideas fit into a neat box. Well, we got it done, and honestly, our criteria was based on two things: how great we thought the album was, artistically speaking, and how long we listened to it without getting bored. That's it. It's full-proof; you might not [...]

David Waldman The tale of Toronto's Diamond Rings was one of the unexpected little Toronto triumphs of the Summer, what with the electro-glam alter-ego of D'Urbervilles frontman Jon O'Regan releasing a fun video to go with his debut 73 single, "All Yr Songs", and having it quickly get not only catch the ear of Pitchfork founder Ryan Schreiber, but also garner title of "Best New Music" by the same tastemaking site, leading to plenty of attention, singles sales and plum opening slots. The happy tale took an unfortunate [...]

This is the latest from Foreign Born , who teamed up with Matthew Lessner, who has directed videos for Dirty Projectors, Fool's Gold and Raveonettes. 'Early Warnings' takes us to 'uncharted reaches' to explore the wilderness and an assortment of wild inhabitants through the lens of a seventies-esque safari. We love the animals.

To recap: As for My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009, I made a few rules for myself. First, a band can only appear once. Also, this is purely about singles I enjoy. For instance, I would never put Harlem Shakes’ Technicolor Health on my favorite albums list, but “Sunlight” made it pretty high on this list because it’s a great pop song. I like a lot of Grooms’ songs and think they’re probably better than many of these, for instance, but none of them made it onto this list because they work much better as a group of experimental [...]

I'm happy to see our friends The Limousines on there, John Vanderslice, Mark Kozelek, and Atlas Sound have me pretty much sold right now. Plus double Magnetic Fields shows. One at Oakland's Fox Theater and another at the Herbst Theater. Here's the full list of performers; Magnetic Fields Rogue Wave Harlem Japanese Motors Foreign Born [...]

Foreign Born - Early Warnings (Video) A slight homage to The Life Aquatic, set on what looks like my old summer camp stomping grounds, Catalina... (Visit my blog for more!)
One of my favorite albums of the year. This video serves as a kind of movie-credits-y introduction to the band, if you need it, with one of the album's most energetic and upbeat numbers. Feat. Floyd, the English bull terrier. My review of Person to Person on Tiny Mix Tapes.
