The Foreign Resort aren't likely to be a featured hotel destination on Expedia any time soon, but if you're into the heavily distorted and tortured howls of Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine, you may want to book a date with this Danish four-piece's self-titled EP. They were also among the latest bands announced for South by Southwest in March, so you could always go see them in Austin. (Good luck finding accommodations for that week though.) As for the five tracks that make up this EP, "Colleen" is a love cry about a [...]

Dänische Bands haben ja seit jeher einen Stammplatz im Coast Is Clear-Blog, und wenn auch der stete Strom an interessanten neuen dänischen Acts, der noch vor einigen Jahren zu verzeichnen war, etwas nachgelassen zu haben scheint, gibt es doch immer wieder tolle neue Bands zu entdecken. So beispielsweise The Foreign Resort , ein Quartett aus Kopenhagen, das irgendwo zwischen PostPunk und Shoegaze pendelt und mit druckvollen Gitarren und angedüsterter Atmosphäre für Furore sorgt. Ihre Debüt-EP ist gerade erschienen und hierzulande bei afmusic zu erhalten. The Foreign [...]

It's been a while since our last Blov Musique, but they're overdue. You should see our submissions inbox. First up is Chris Tenz , the Calgary-based composer and vocalist. His forthcoming album Frozen Arms is moving and simple, although deceptive in scope. Stream it here: Next is "Living With Dinosaurs," the second single from a forthcoming EP by Arundel . There is a slick, prog-rock ethic at work here, with a lower-threshold pulse, crafty acoustic guitar motif, and stinging central question: [...]

The Foreign Resort - Starlit Sea [ download ] Their hysterical footsteps slowed even though the giggle-spattered panting took longer to settle. She was bent double as though her slinky earrings were dead weights. Ella gazed at her, in love, infatuated with the last 2,4,6 hours. Their locked eyes just had time for maybe 2 blinks then the blinding sprint for home was back in full [...]
Yeah I know that I'm not all that creative, when it comes to naming blog posts. Actually I'm not very creative in general (be it blog posts, be it life, be it whatever), so this is hardly a surprise. Though just for the fun of it I am trying a completely different recipe today by turning the mailbox upside down and checking out the oldest mails first rather than the newest. And some of them are indeed rather old dating back to December last year (I promise not to post any x-mas tunes!), but amazingly most download links still seem [...]

Da ich den Eindruck habe, dass ich dieses Jahr meine eigentlich übliche Dänen-Quote nicht ganz eingehalten habe (was aber auch am teilweise nicht ganz so dollen Output unserer skandinavischen Nachbarn liegt – das neue Mew-Album finde ich beispielsweise so nichtssagend, dass ich es gar nicht für erwähnenswert erachtete... bis gerade in diesem Augenblick! :-) Aber es gibt auch immer wieder neue aufstrebende Bands wie The Foreign Resort , einem Quartett aus Kopenhagen, dessen Debütalbum «Offshore» soeben erschienen ist und das irgendwo zwischen Interpol und The Killers entlangrockt. Durchaus vielversprechend! Link zur [...]
February 2009 saw the Danish release of The Foreign Resort's debut album,`Offshore,` in cooperation with the classic Copenhagen vinyl store `Smukstoej`. "It's interesting to see how over the last couple of years, old dusty record players are getting 'dogged out' from storage rooms and basements," said the band's lead singer on why The Foreign Resort is excited about the vinyl version of the `Offshore` album. "That's the tendency we're tailgating onto. And of course it is a childhood dream to release vinyl." Splitting the album into two sides also emphasizes the two moods of `Offshore` - the extroverted radio songs [...]

The Foreign Resort er fra København, bandet består af fire personer og til sammen frembringer de en dejlig omgang støjrock, der dog også har sine stille momenter. Når man hører The Foreign Resort, er det svært ikke at lægge mærke til en tydelig inspiration, fra bands som Sonic Youth og Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Spøgelserne af disse bands kan tydeligt ses i sange som for eksempel "The Starlit Sea", der med en vokal, der minder lidt om Peter Hayes fra Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, en instrumental opbygning i samme boldgade som Sonic Youth og et omkvæd der [...]
