a nice track spinnin' it now @rc thank you

Today, Melbourne outfit FOREIGN/NATIONAL share​ TOO SENTIMENTAL: another beautiful slice of warped pop lifted from their upcoming debut LP.

Where Tristesse — the band’s previous single — was driven by punchdrunk optimism, Too Sentimental wakes up sheepish and hungover, all too aware of nostalgia’s toxicity. Where Tristesse blushes, Too Sentimental winces.

Demoed in a style reminiscent of Italian psych duo Dumbo Gets Mad, Too Sentimental bloomed into something much bolder during the recording process with the band’s longtime producer, Joey Walker (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard).

The final product artfully oscillates between the band’s usual lo-fi, oversaturated sound and a wider, cleaner aesthetic. “We started by trying to mirror Deerhunter’s soaring guitar sounds and eventually landed on something closer to Yes’s Owner of a Lonely Heart played on shittier gear,” the band comment.
