"This is one of the upcoming bands in the LA scene right now. They are just
finishing up a residency at Spaceland. People have been talking. But the EP is
here. StarTime is known for its New York bands like The Walkmen and French
Kicks. But they started to expand their empire. Dios Malos was the first LA band.
Now we have Foreign Born. Initially they remind me of The Pleased. Especially
on songs like "Exactly On The Verge." Some jangley guitars and some 1980s
synths are featured on a few tracks. "We Had Pleasure" is a memorable song. It
contains hope and the spirit of summer. "It Grew On You" reminds me of John
Lennon. This is a fairly good start. I can't stop listening to it.
