Foreign Friends, Measurements EPSelf-released, July 10Website”Work,” which kicks off Foreign Friends’ Measurements EP, features a saxophone solo three-fourths of the way through, bringing unavoidably to mind a certain M83 song. Admittedly, this is a very unfair comparison–the breakout single of a band who sells out the Paramount versus the leadoff track from a relatively new Seattle electronic group. But it’s an apt one because of how the band incorporates a surprisingly diverse amount of synth-pop touchstones into its debut EP. Actually, that listless sax solo might be the album’s low point. What follows–the steady new-wave stomp of “Wrong Moves,” the MGMT-recalling “Losing Game”–is much stronger, bearing a resemblance to electro-pop from the ’80s to the present day. Listen to “Wrong Moves” after the jump, and head to the group’s Bandcamp to stream the EP or download it for free. Wrong Moves by Foreign Friends
