Kinda like a song that means different things to you depending on your mood. When it first came up, it was \u201cthe place you want to go, that never lives up to your expectations.\u201d The meaning it had for the longest time was and is \u201cescape.\u201d You know, like \u201cThe grass is always greener on the other side.\u201d And in the same vein, the current meaning would be \u201ctouring fever.\u201d\u00a0Our\u00a0touring schedule is pretty intense for a band playing niche music at 100-200 capacity venues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><em><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4705 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg-1170x878.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/gEoXMUxg-585x439.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em>\u2014The band started in 2006, how were these first <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>years?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014The first years were just us fooling around, trying to find our sound. We really didn\u2019t know how to produce the sound we were looking for. We wanted to play noise rock, shoegaze, but had no idea how to create the sound. But we had ambition and kept rehearsing and rehearsing, which I am sure helps us today in sounding very tight as a live band. And then we started to add more and more effect pedals to our setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3361 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/CcZudTb4.jpeg-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><em>\u2014Offshore<\/em> is your first release from 2009.

Did you release any EP or single before?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em>\u2014Offshore<\/em> is our first release. There was a demo before that, but that was only Mikkel\u00a0recording all instruments and it was never officially released.\u00a0We had enough songs for a full length, so we recorded everything and released it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014How was the recording of this first album?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014It was a lot of fun and frustration. We had all recorded stuff before, but in this constellation we still didn\u2019t know what sound we wanted, so we relied heavily on the expertise of Bo Karlsson who engineered and mixed the album. Check out our latest release <em>Outnumbered,<\/em> which is engineered and mixed by the same guy, but with us knowing exactly what kind of sound we wanted. The outcome is very different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Do you consider that with the EP<em> The Foreign Resort<\/em> you found your sound?<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3376 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/v600_a3843296590_10-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014You noticed! That\u2019s exactly what it is: Wall of sound, backtracks and both bass and guitars were buried in effects like chorus, reverb, delay and fuzz. And we went for a simpler expression, still with a big sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014<em>Scattered and Buried<\/em>, from 2012, is a compilation with remixes, 4 new songs and a new version of a song from 2009. Why did you release this sort of compilation instead of publishing just the new songs as an EP?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014We had all the songs ready and wanted to\u00a0release\u00a0them all at once. So we did.\u00a0As an LP it works well, new tracks (+ one remake) on side A and then remixes on side B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014What can you tell us about your record <em>New Frontiers<\/em>, released in 2014?

Was your try at doing something big?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Our bass player back then noticed that our friends Dead Leaf Echo had worked with John Fryer, who was known for creating good sound for bands that we identified with. So we contacted John and asked if he wanted to produce, engineer and mix our album. We figured recording with John,\u00a0we needed something better than our basement\u00a0rehearsal studio, so we\u00a0booked\u00a010 days in Black Tornado Studios in Copenhagen.\u00a0So you could say it was more to accommodate than intentionally going for something big.\u00a0We did know John Fryer was known in the shoegaze and post-punk scene and hoped having his name\u00a0on our release would help us, which\u00a0it did to a certain extent.\u00a0We hope both the name and the sound that came out of it\u00a0helped bring us out to more people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4720 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-1170x1170.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2991138118_10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u2014<em>American Dream<\/em>, your EP from 2015 was recorded in a basement where you practiced and with almost nothing analogue. Why this change from the previous recording?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Anytime we spend time recording a new release, we feel like doing the complete opposite next time. After spending a fortune on New Frontiers\u00a0and going for a big sound,\u00a0we wanted something simpler\u00a0and cheaper.\u00a0Simpler songs too. It was mostly an experiment\u00a0and us trying to get away from big, expensive analogue effects and instead see how much we could get out of as little as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014What is the Danish dream, instead?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014You could say we were dreaming of making it big in the United States. A country where we tour a lot. On a more real level, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s an equivalent to the American Dream in Denmark. Here we would call it by its real name: social mobility, the chance for everyone to climb up the social ladder, which still exists in Denmark as opposed to The United States.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014I read that you are quite interested in American politics. Do you think that things can go worse?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Things can always get worse but we\u2019re definitely at an\u00a0all-time\u00a0low. But\u00a0that goes for\u00a0both\u00a0the USA and Europe. I refer to it as the rise of the new national socialism, which applies to the racist, national socialist parties\u00a0currently\u00a0gaining power all over Europe, scared of immigration and blaming their ill fortune on foreigners \u201cstealing their money,\u201d\u00a0the same way Trump got into power in the States and the same way Hitler got into power. What people don\u2019t realize is\u00a0that it is the corporate world,\u00a0the 1% who own the world who are taking our money. And as long as the 1% can fool the ignorant, we\u2019re gonna stay at this all-time low or it will get worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014You have toured America 13 times (according to an interview from 2016, I guess you could have done if a couple of times more in these two years).

We like meeting good people\u00a0and sometimes\u00a0that\u00a0happens sort of by coincidence. Last time we played at SXSW in Austin, Texas, we stayed at two super friendly biker guys\u2019 place\u00a0in south Austin. They look like <strong>ZZ Top<\/strong> and treated us so nice. We were gonna spend a fortune on an overpriced hotel and they saved our financial situation by letting us stay at their place the entire festival. At night when we came back from the festival, we would hang out on their back porch, relaxing and talking. Things like that leave a lasting impression\u00a0and make it all worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014You said that you have more fans in Germany, in the USA and in Canada than in the rest of the world. Why do you think this happens? What is the thing that the rest of Europe is missing?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Not sure Europe is missing anything. There\u2019s just more people coming out to shows in our genre in Germany and the US. There\u2019s a scene in other countries\u00a0too, but you have to hit specific cities. Like here in Denmark, there are Copenhagen and Odense.\u00a0In the rest of the country, we would play to five people if we showed up.\u00a0Sometimes all it takes is a dedicated booker at a venue, like Stengade here in Copenhagen\u00a0or\u00a0Sanctuary in Prague, to revive the scene and make people start going to those kinds of shows again.\u00a0We\u00a0really\u00a0appreciate the people who are dedicated and put an effort into creating good shows and events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014We\u2019ve just had talked with <a href=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/en\/interview-empathy-test\/\">Empathy Test<\/a> about crowdfunding tours. You have been doing it too, what can you tell about your experience?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Back in 2015 we raised money to pay for work visas and other expenses to tour the US. So we\u00a0set\u00a0up different prices that you could buy and that way support us. Besides ordering our new album in different formats, you could also have us play an intimate low-key live show in your living room and have us make you a Danish dinner. The campaign was a success and we went on the most exhausting tour ever. Driving up to 10 hours per day, then shopping\u00a0for\u00a0groceries, cooking, playing a living room show and then going to the venue to play the club show was super fun, but also\u00a0way\u00a0too much work and way too little sleep.\u00a0No regrets, but we won\u2019t do it again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Do you make any cover?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Yes, we covered Stevie Nicks \u2013 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theforeignresort.bandcamp.com\/track\/stand-back-remake.\">Stand Back<\/a>\u201d with Anna Bouchard from the band Drowner. Following the recording, we performed the song twice during SXSW 2012.

We got introduced to the labels we have worked with, and are working with, by friends we made\u00a0while\u00a0touring.\u00a0The\u00a0friendlier\u00a0you are to people you meet, the more opportunities will arise from those meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014For \u201cShe is lost,\u201d the band asked for fan videos. How did it work?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014It\u00a0took a while for anything to happen. We had a couple of people who said they would make a video, then didn\u2019t. And one video was actually fully made, and was great, but had copyrighted footage in it so it couldn\u2019t be used.\u00a0Enter Chris Wallis who lives in Ontario, Canada. He said he would do it and also sounded like he had a good idea of what kind of video we were looking for. We kinda lowered our expectations since this was a fan project where Chris was doing us a favor without getting paid.\u00a0But the result was beyond what we had imagined. We love the video and the way\u00a0Chris\u00a0has interpreted the song and the lyrics into pictures.\u00a0The same goes for our latest video, which was also made by Chris Wallis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4716 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2533481171_16-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2533481171_16-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2533481171_16-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2533481171_16-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/elgarajedefrank.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/a2533481171_16.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u2014What were <em>Part time Punk Sessions<\/em>, different versions of previous released tracks?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014You could say so. The concept of <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Part Time Punk<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> is playing a show in Los Angeles and then recording 4-5 songs live in a studio in connection with the show. So the songs are not entirely different versions but they definitely have a wilder sound while at the same time being super tight, recorded 16 shows into the tour where we had been playing every day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014You said that you are fed up with all the references to the bands from the eighties, so I would like to ask you which modern bands do you like at the moment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Sure! We\u2019re influenced by new bands all the time. Touring we get to play with a lot of great bands that we wouldn\u2019t have met or even heard of otherwise.\u00a0Bands we currently listen to and also draw a bit of inspiration from are<strong> Andr\u00e9 Obin, Night Drive, Creux Lies, New Canyons, Film School, A Place To Bury Strangers, ACTORS, Melted Mirror <\/strong>and <strong>The Raveonettes<\/strong> to mention a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014How is your relation with the Goth scene, do you feel that the band is part of it?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Yes, I do feel we\u2019re a part of it. Not sure it is entirely goth, but definitely \u201cdark\u201d musically speaking.\u00a0The\u00a0people in this scene are very supportive\u00a0and engaged, so we feel privileged to get to play with the many great\u00a0bands and to the great audiences that are out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014How is the public in Denmark?

Now I would say:\u00a0they are\u00a0a little more reserved than the Germans. Danes don\u2019t dance as much as Americans and Germans. That said, the shows we have played and attended as the audience over the past year\u00a0in Copenhagen\u00a0have been well attended by\u00a0dancing\u00a0people.

We\u2019re addicted to touring and keeping playing shows prevented us from writing and recording new songs. But we got there eventually and we are very happy with the result.\u00a0Compared to<em> The American Dream<\/em> the songs are a little more complex rhythmically, with more syncopated bass lines and programming. We feel our song writing has improved, but that\u2019ll be up to the public to judge.\u00a0Having worked with many different people, we feel that this album has the best sound of them all. The recording and mixing process with Bo Karlsson went super smooth and Bo understood how to translate our wishes into sound, which\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0an easy job. So thank you very much for your patience and professionalism, Bo!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u2014Why don\u2019t we see bands like yours in festivals like Primavera Sound, or any Pitchfork Festivals when your music could fit so well?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2014Thanks so much for saying that! The time might still come where we will play there.

Just kidding. We\u2019re gonna put in 120%. Our music requires\u00a0energy when played, so we\u2019re gonna give it all we have to make sure the audience will have a good time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;
