Foreign Talks (Expunged)

Foreign Talks release their debut self-titled album next month (April 2013) on Expunged Records, as the band are teenagers i could patronise them about their album being a mature and layered album beyond their tender years. I won't of course... though it is a mature and layered album full of great pop moments with four-part vocal harmonies.

Foreign Talks have two lead vocalists who contrast in style over a solid backing. "Years from now" has interesting intricate melodic patterns and rapid semi-spoken lyrics, the effect is intriguing although Foreign Talks have been compared to the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club they have their own sound and style based on intricate rapid word play. Sounds like "Mama" and "Falling leaves" show a real lyrical maturity, the latter having a glorious chorus.

So Foreign Talk's debut album, great start to their career and surely will be only the start on the evidence of this record.
