The Foreign Resort - She is Lost - A Song Reviewed by SongBlog

Danish post-punk trio The Foreign Resort released their new single 'She is Lost' in April. This is the first song from the band’s next full length album, marking a return to the analogue sound of their New Frontiers album, only this time the sound is more minimalistic and with plenty of electronics and spacious drums to create a dreamy yet upbeat soundscape full of contrast.

For lead singer Mikkel B. Jakobsen 'She is Lost' is a very personal song about what he sarcastically refers to as “the summer of love”: “It was one of the worst summers in my life. I came out strong on the other side, but this song was written partly when things were looking very bad and I was not doing the right things to get to a better place and partly when I had realized it was not just me who was the problem. Hence the title 'She is Lost'.

The Foreign Resort are Denmark's finest musical export of post-punk and dark new wave, led by singer and songwriter Mikkel Borbjerg Jakobsen. 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 motorik bass and Morten Hansen’s powerful drumming, all while Mikkel’s taut and sincere vocal delivery demands your attention.

Having toured with The Raveonettes, A Place to Bury Strangersand Swervedriver, The Foreign Resort has also shared bills with bands like DIIV, , , The Soft MoonThe KVBSlowdive, Minor Victories and, most recently, Cold Cave. They've also toured the USA relentlessly, addicted to the allure of America's lost highways.
