Foreign/National - Life Tourist

Pilerats
Originally Appeared In

The Melbourne five-piece are on the verge of dropping their debut EP, and Life Tourist is a great start.. Foreign/National are five guys outta Melbourne who, according to that ever-reliable source of information Facebook, like beer and Mortal Kombat. We like both of those things too, so it was pretty much destiny that we'd like their breezy brand of psych-pop, which is all out for display on new single Life Tourist. Because I'm a child of my generation, I'm gonna bandy about comparisons like early-days MGMT and Tame Impala, but that's just to give you, fair-weather blog explorer, some recognisable names to clutch on to. It's dreamy stuff, and I look forward to their upcoming debut EP release, due September via Downtime. Follow Foreign/National: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
