Biography

In February of 2017, following the release of their debut LP, Dépaysement, Foreign/National relocated to Europe. A run of headline shows in Paris, Stockholm, London and Madrid culminated in a support slot for fellow countrymen King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard in Berlin. The band remained in German capital and, in a small flat next to the Maybachufer canal, began work on their sophomore record. The vibrato-soaked pop of their earlier material gave way to a broader sonic and rhythmic palette: synthesisers took the mantle of guitars, and drum patterns blossomed into exciting polyrhythmic grooves. Returning home to Melbourne in 2018, the band spent the year fine-tuning their new album. In 2019, they recorded with Casey Harnett (Sui Zhen, Dreamin' Wild, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) in the quiet seaside town of Aireys Inlet before travelling to Los Angeles to mix with Jarvis Taveniere (Real Estate, Mild High Club, Sunflower Bean) at CMPNY Studios. Foreign/National's second LP, 'The Garden', was released on the 29th of May, 2020.
