A holiday escape to the oceanside is meant to keep the tribulations of daily life at bay. Yet every joyous moment of vacation is undercut with a strange melancholy as you do the math on the finite nature of your getaway. So, you take your sweet, sweet time with that cold drink and offer a cheers an extra time or two.

The songs of LA's Foreign Born's, Person To Person, are cut through with this same duality: celebration in spite of trouble on the horizon.

While the songs are propelled by benga-flavored beats, fuzzed-out synth bass, clucking tropical cowbells- from soaring horn sections to emotive string arrangements, its frontman Matt Popieluch's emotive, Aschcroft-y delivery that always keep the songs in check.

One can't help but imagine this was the mood of Foreign Born's mid-summer retreat to Sunset Lodge Studios, where bass parts were laid down in the wee hours of morning and the hot tub bubbled late into the night. The result of the session is an album of dense pop that justifies the band's place among top songsmithing contemporaries like Cass McCombs and James Mercer, as well as greats like (dare I say it?) David Bowie (There, I said it). But the band is able to bypass the "songwriter" label by delivering a much more collective sound -- you know, like a BAND. African high-life guitars are countered with New Wave wash; the sound of a band daring to keep its pallet open to most any influence -- from U2 to The Feelies. If the Walkmen weren't afraid to go out in Bermuda shorts and flip-flops, you may have a sound close to this... like it could be Phil Spector's mid-70's 'lost recordings' inspired by the depth of second-line drum bands from New Orleans.

It's been said that Foreign Born is an anthem band without "the" fist-pumping anthem, which may be true. And this is OK, because the trade-off is for an album far more cerebral and sustaining. The thing with summer anthems is that they only last a summer, Foreign Born delivers the soundtrack for the backyard BBQ of the ages.

Foreign Born is Lewis Pesacov, Matt Popieluch, Garrett Ray and Ariel Rechtshaid

"The songs that make up this record are as meticulously recorded and executed as pop music gets. They're as dense and lush as they are stick-in-your-craw catchy." - POPMATTERS

"the band [has a] feel for anthemic '80s rock shaded by complex arrangements and cathartic moments that make the likes of Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire so appealing"- LA TIMES

"Percussion-loaded pop ballads, hypnotic bridges, and danceable rock edges"- SPIN Magazine

"Foreign Born's new music is inhabited by cries for help, shouts of hope and pleas for healing, all underpinned by rhythms so relentless and restless they seem connected to our turbulent times. And it's not a stretch to think of this album as Foreign Born's "Music From Big Pink." - BUZZ BANDS

Moving through the trees
Rolling through the leaves
Make the wrong move and she'll bring you to your knees

She's out of her mind
Doing just fine
It's in her design
She's doing what she wants and she'll stick you like a porcupine 

Drinking her wine
She'll leave a man blind
But you won't mind
She's doing what she wants and shell stick you like a porcupine

Every time I try to give her my demands
I'm left all alone with quills in my hands 
She's not the type to fall in line cause she's doing what she wants and she'll stick you like a porcupine 

It's in her spines there's no way around it
She's in my mind what can i do about it
But she's so fine I  let her stick me like a...

Lyrics:

Life is a greenhouse gas
Half the police in masks
Pretending to be my friend
But nothing can box me in, cause I'm free yeah

I'll be the first to dance
With every new circumstance
I smile at the scene I see
Cause I decide what it means to me, cause I can because I'm free yeah

Enclosed for your review is a picture of you Before you knew
And circled in red are the things you said When you lost your head
And got in bed Cause god is dead

But to whom it may concern
It's no longer that person's turn, it's mine and I'm free

Dear sir(s),
We regret to inform you
The norm you conform to
Does not meet our needs at this time
But of course you may try to reapply for membership
And resubmit your manuscript
When the man you've scripted's hands are lifted to the sky And the old you dies
Sincerely,
The editorial me
