"The music is a mix of Joy Division, Love and Rockets and The National with brief moments of Interpol thrown in." --Front Porch Musings

"Their songs are really good, like if Interpol decided to play faster and have some hard rock riffs. The vocals had a tinge of early Elvis Costello, and they play around with song structure a lot as well." --SF Bay Guardian

With a flicker of an 8mm reel, Foreign Cinema has created an audio visual soundtrack with influences cross pollinating elements of shoegaze, trip hop and post-punk. The band’s noir sound balances light and dark, with ethereal warmth and interjected groove to create a romantically dark world guided by interpretive lyrics about the human condition. Founded in 2008, the symbiotic core is comprised of Astral singer/guitarist Dave Han of San Francisco and bass courtesy of Natty D from Goiania, Brazil. “One of the few San Francisco bands to create something original and uninhibited: shoegaze influenced trip hop with an electronic edge." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Beautiful guitars, consistent unconventional drum work complimented by solid in the pocket style bass lines. And that’s just the core of the band! Keep your ears peeled for ambient pianos, cellos and more. If you are into the likes of RADIOHEAD or WILCO check these guys out, they are well on their way to being that rad." --East Bay Express
