“The Foreign Resort have created something really special for modern post-punk…This album is a must-have on vinyl – it’s dark but has addictive bounce.” – CVLT NATION

““Outnumbered,” is yet another gem of black leather, noisy shimmery, and grim portent.” – Decibel Magazine

“Put simply, these eleven songs go right for the jugular with a bracing blend of razor-sharp post-punk and chilly synth-pop that — most important of all — is supremely catchy.” – Opus

“The eleven tracks of the album show off a biting and convincing darkwave, in a balance between anger and melancholy; an epic and melancholic guitar-sound…one of the best publications of the current year.” – Ascension Magazine

“…the record is so powerful and so successful that you can not afford to miss [it]”. – Prémonition

“A fantastic journey through colored neon lights wrapped in melancholy fog that isolates and offer a delicate and distressing introspective vision.” – Metalhead.it

THE FOREIGN RESORT

Formed in 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Foreign Resort has spent 10 years creating and honing an explosive yet melancholy post-punk sound that is as rich as it is exciting, and as immediate as it is dark and deep.

The band combines the shadowy mysticism of The Cure’s Pornography era with a driving production aesthetic akin to LCD Soundsystem. Intricate reverb-enveloped guitar lines glide over Steffan Petersen’s bass and Morten Hansen’s powerful drumming, all while Mikkel Borbjerg Jakobsen’s taut and sincere vocal delivery demands attention.

The Foreign Resort have toured relentlessly, addicted to the allure of America’s lost highways, sharing bills with bands like Cold Cave, DIIV, The Soft Moon, She Past Away, The KVB, Slowdive, Minor Victories, Ash Code and many more. Since 2010, the band has been rigorous in playing more than 420 shows across North America and Europe with performances at several festivals, including SXSW, Iceland Airwaves, Wave Gotik Treffen, Canadian Music Week, POP Montreal, and Nocturnal Culture Night.

After releasing several independent albums, and eager to take their sound to that next level, the band has inked a deal with popular Toronto-based Artoffact Records.
