Foreign Born

Add Date: June 16

Artist: Foreign Born

Album: Person to Person

Label: Secretly Canadian

Genre: Rock

Comments: California band Foreign Born make indie rock that culls from many influences (Talking Heads, David Bowie, Echo & the Bunnymen) without copying anyone's sound, and reminds you of many modern bands (The Walkmen, Radiohead, early Interpol) without sounding exactly like another. In my book, those are both good attributes. Person to Person, the band's first release for Secretly Canadian (Antony & the Johnsons, Jens Lekman) is a quite suitable followup to their 2006 debut On the Wing Now. Try "That Old Sun" and "Vacationing People."
