Foreign/National – Life Tourist

I’ve sat on this one for a few minutes because I’ve had lots of stuff to do ie only bloody well starting my own record label / Ponzi scheme. A new Foreign/National track is worth returning to despite my tardiness because the five of them delightfully straddle that formless psych aesthetic and the rigid form of a highly structure track with ease. For that reason I’m going to keep the psych references to a minimum because, in fairness, 98% of what bloggers label as psych is pop-rock with reverb. So you’ll excuse me if I don’t pull out a lazy Tame Impala reference or suggest easy stonerisms for the next three minutes (one minute if you skim read- recommended.)

This is just one of the multiple [great] singles that F/N have popped online from their debut EP due out this month through Sam Gill’s DOWNTIME Records. Honestly, it feels like the 73rd single these dudes have released this month but that might just be due to the fact that everyone everywhere everytime keeps writing about them to the point where it’s literally the only feature of my feed. You can personally blame this band for the fact I don’t like any of your wonderful statuses or thinspirational images, I’m just not seeing them, sorry.
