When I first listened to their debut album “Mistress”, and then on repeat some more, I knew I wanted to write about the band. FACIAL, consisting[…]
“Echo”, the new single by Foreign Air, is as mesmerizing and sparkling as a meteor shower to stay within the lyrical context of “we hear echoes from another galaxy”. Foreign Air is the nomadic alt-pop duo of Jacob Michael and Jesse Clasen. With “Echo”, they deliver an impossible to resist soaring dance floor sparkler, complete with pulsating[…]
