"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.
