This San Francisco quintet crafts sweeping tracks full of jangly, upbeat guitars, circus pomp and glittering synth flourishes. Ditching their former moniker Foreign, the band rebranded last fall. Now, after six months of recording in a basement, they just released their self-titled EP—a four song set of emotionally resonant Y2K psychedelia reminiscent of Grandaddy’s The Sophtware Slump and The Flaming Lips’ The Soft Bulletin. They’ll be joined by two fellow San Francisco bands: The Liners, who play soulful, brooding tunes and The HA, who self-identify as a “beach funk Americana” outfit.
