The Foreign Resort

**The Foreign Resort** is a Danish post-punk/darkwave trio hailing from Aarhus, known for their moody, reverb-drenched sound that nods to ’80s icons like The Cure and Joy Division while carving out a modern edge. Formed in 2006, the band—Mikkel B. Jakobsen (vocals/guitar), Henrik Fischlein (bass), and Morten Hansen (drums)—mixes brooding melodies with shoegaze textures and driving rhythms, creating music that’s equally introspective and explosive. Over the years, they’ve built a reputation for intense live shows, sharing stages with legends like The Chameleons and attracting a dedicated following across Europe and North America.

Their recent work, including albums like *Scattered & Buried* (2021) and *Outnumbered* (2022), leans into their signature gloom-pop vibe, while tracks like “Southern Skies” and “Resound” showcase their knack for anthemic hooks. The band also thrives on collaboration, as seen in their remix-heavy releases (*OutRemixed*, 2023) and cross-genre reworks with acts like Bootblacks and NITE. Whether crafting their own jangly, melancholic bangers or reimagining others’ tracks, The Foreign Resort stays rooted in dark, danceable energy—perfect for late-night drives or basement-club playlists.
