Paper + Plastick Records Offers Free Download of Foreign Tongues Song
Paper + Plastick Records is offering a free download of Foreign Tongues’ “Maps of the Sky” from the band’s self-titled EP. The EP will be released on cassette tape and 7” vinyl from the label this summer.
“Maps of the Sky” is a mid-tempo burner with gritty guitars that highlights the band’s dynamic tendencies. The song changes feels multiple times, ranging from Balance and Composure-esque indie rock to both lighter and heavier sides of the spectrum. A pounding drum beat and Cameron Moretti’s vocals keep the song steady throughout its many faces.

More about Foreign Tongues:
Writing a bio for Foreign Tongues is kind of like trying to describe an episode of Boy Meets World, but don’t run away yet just because I said that. An episode of Boy Meets World is a complex organism. For every funny or cute moment, there is a life lesson to be learned. And the life lesson can be learned both by the pre-teen middle-school viewer and his parent. In short, Boy Meets World never really becomes irrelevant.
A Foreign Tongues release is a similarly complex experience. You can hear traces of Dinosaur Jr. There is some Sunny Day Real Estate and Pavement here. There is a lot of Nirvana here. And the New Hampshire/Massachusetts natives’ five-track self-titled EP was produced by Jay Maas of Defeater, so there is a certain distinguishable hardcore sound present.
The convergence of these influences produces a five-song EP where no song sounds like another, a result of going into the studio without a specific “sound” in mind. There is a common undertone that connects the songs to each other, something that fans of Balance and Composure, Tigers Jaw and Nirvana will appreciate.
Foreign Tongues’ self-titled EP is online now and will be seeing vinyl and cassette releases in the near future by Paper + Plastick Records.
