Get into the brightly imaginative tangle of Motown-inspired nostaligic-pop (involving a range of sounds from a rad funk guitar groove, heated high-drama-pace breathy-reverb’ed fatalist-vibe vocals and a punctuating-dynamic bass-line) on new Foreign/National track “Pacific Cruise” which we are drawn to for its horn-tinged upbeat-jazzy percussion-ambient vintage vibe and pointed slightly-wry lyrical prose. B3 last covered the warped-vintage-pop/psych-rocker Aussie five-piece for their retro-vibe blissful-downcast atmosphere’d sentimental lo-fi gem “The Hedonist”. “Pacific Cruise” is the first single off of Foreign/National’s next EP that is set to release at an unknown date via DOWNTIME (the same label who rep’d the group’s self-titled debut EP). Good stuff! We are totally stoked to hear more from their upcoming album. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
