The Foreign Resort - Part Time Punks Sessions

In 2017 Danish trio The Foreign Resort travelled across North America, performing at festivals and small venues to spread their post-punk / New Wave genius. While on a stopover in Los Angeles, they recorded four songs live in the studio. They opted to release the Part Time Punks Sessions Live EP which demonstrates how great The Foreign Resort sound regardless of the setting, which partially explains why people in Denmark flock to their gigs. With the harrowing dark tones of Pornography-era The Cure, the starkness of Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures and the luminescent shoegaze of A Place To Bury Strangers and My Bloody Valentine, “Suburban Depression” is a hammering number whose sole purpose is to nail us in our place and experience its episodic nature. Listen closely to the lyrics as well because, despite it being written over two years ago, the song’s message still very much applies to modern times. Ours is a world that is losing its mind, and we’re all crumbling down into our “own private hell”.
