MONOLATHE RECORDINGS  

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION 0016

09.04.12
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 
The Foreign Resort are back with a new collection of tunes to whet your ears! Scattered & Buried is a collection of remakes, remixes, and new material that continues the bands guitar-laden sonic assault. "Delayed" sets the tone from the opening line, "Stop killing me, we should never be apart" then follows with crushing guitars, and breaks off into an epic journey. "Lost my Way (2012)" evolves from their Offshore release by stripping away the new wave pop to add a new level of aggression. No TFR release would be complete without a haunting piece to lose yourself in. "We're gonna drown before we give in" is the defining theme behind "Tide". In addition, you will find remixes by Novachild, Sway, and Evol that take fan favorites and re-work them into completely new atmospheres that express The Foreign Resort's music in an anomalous light.

The Foreign Resort will also make another stop in the States in October, traveling around the East Coast, and giving New England another blast of sonic, gooey goodness.  Iceland will also get a dose this year in Reykjavik, as they head over to play Iceland Airwaves!  We can only imagine how Sigur Ros, and Swans must feel about sharing the stage with these 4 Danes!

Available on CD and digital download 9-25-12, and limited edition vinyl (MONOLATHE webstore only) late October.

Press for The Foreign Resort:

"This is a too-short five song EP from these Denmark dynamos, it's Swervedriving shoegazed Britpop with a nice goth edge. This band is epic! Remnants of Killing Joke and Joy Division lay in their wake as they pick up random sonic body parts left by bands ranging from The White Lies to U2..."-The Big Takeover

"...there's some really good, loud stuff here that nu gaze fans of M83 and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart should enjoy."-Consequence Of Sound

"A cold-blooded, solid and brutal crowbar of an EP that really should open doors for The Foreign Resort.  They will surely grow big..." (5/6)-Soundvenue.com

Summer in Texas:  Music on the Roof

It already feels like summer in Austin, and what better way to enjoy it than with live music on a rooftop deck with your friends.

Real Music Thursdays at 219 West

Dart Music International and The House of Songs begin a monthly residency on the last Thursday of each month through August.  The setting is the beautiful rooftop deck of 219 West, which moved earlier this year to 612 West 6th Street, next to the old Katz and Momo's (Map).  Music begins at 8:30pm with bands representing the international cooperative spirit of DMI and The House of Songs.   

On March 31 we are very pleased to have some Austin musicians who really "get" both organizations.  

8:30:  The House of Songs presents Nicholas Ginbey
www.nicholasginbey.com

"Lyrically driven melodic acoustic indie-folk reminiscent of Daniel Johnston or The Modern Lovers"

10:00:  Dart Music International presents Billy Wilson
www.latinatheart.com

"Billy Wilson, the smooth and dynamic voice that fronts the much acclaimed Latin At Heart, has now begun to move into his own as a solo performer.  The latin undertones of his new sound is reminiscent of the large band but with the intimacy you would expect from a solo performance.  Expect songs about love, passion, and heartbreak, all delivered in that intense, melodic package for which Latin At Heart is known.  The talented singer songwriter is currently performing solo shows in and around the Austin area." 

Facebook event page:  http://www.facebook.com/events/416249701731314

Every Thursday our own Michael Renner and Dave Dart will be bringing great live music to the 219 West deck at 8:30.  We hope to see you there all summer long for the amazing happy hour specials, breathtaking view of the city, and great music from some of Austin's best performers.
