The duo, comprised of front man Jesse Clasen and Jacob Michael, who co-write and co-produce all their material, dropped their debut album, Good Morning Stranger, in October of 2020. Before that, they released 10 singles, as well as the For The Light EP, starting with the glitchy, spectral “Free Animal,” which became an immediate hit. Nike snapped up the latter for an ad - and everyone from Samsung, Vodafone, Microsoft, to Showtime, ABC, and Vice soon followed. All told, Foreign Air’s music has been streamed more than 100 million times on Spotify and Apple and they have toured with Misterwives, Bishop Briggs, Bleachers and more.
The first new single, "Your Touch," (out August 6, 2021) was written and recorded during the beginning of quarantine. It’s about coming to terms with the end of a relationship, leaving Los Angeles and exploring those feelings when you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you. The band co-wrote the song with Chris Chu (The Morning Benders, POP ETC) and then pulled in their friend Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Air, Beck) in at the end to help finish the song sonically. More to come soon from Foreign Air.
