FOREIGN AIR - BETTER FOR IT + FOR THE LIGHT EP

Jesse Clasen and Jacob Michael better know as their dropbox project Foreign Air have put together a string of great releases beginning almost a year ago with the fantastic single "Free Animal." Flash forward to now, the duo has released their debut 'For The Light' EP today featuring the other singles "In The Shadows," "Echo," and most recently "Better For It." This single starts simply with piano, but evolves into a well produced indie pop tune with an exotic quality to it. The soundscape is lush and complex while still smooth to the core. This is an excellent book end to a break out year for the guys. SF you can catch Foreign Air at the Fillmore 11/25 and LA you can see them as part of the Red Bull Sound Select series at the Fonda 11/27 and 11/28 with Aurora and Oyster Kids.

FOREIGN AIR - ECHO

Does it ever happen to you where you hear a new song for the first time and it gets you super pumped to do something good in the world? That's how I felt when I heard "Echo" by Foreign Air - a melodic anthem with some larger-than-life production that sounds like something straight out of Lion King (if the soundtrack were reproduced by an indie-electronic band). The use of natural instruments such as the piano and drums make a much more pleasing sound to the ears, and I haven't stopped replaying it since I came across it.
