In February of 2017, following the release of their debut LP, <a href="spotify:album:15lriurdYbiawT6rXjVUiC" data-name="Dépaysement">Dépaysement</a>, Foreign/National relocated to Europe. A run of headline shows in Paris, Stockholm, London and Madrid culminated in a support slot for fellow countrymen <a href="spotify:artist:6XYvaoDGE0VmRt83Jss9Sn" data-name="King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard">King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard</a> in Berlin. The band remained in German capital and, in a small flat next to the Maybachufer canal, began work on their sophomore record. The vibrato-soaked pop of their earlier material gave way to a broader sonic and rhythmic palette: synthesisers took the mantle of guitars, and drum patterns blossomed into exciting polyrhythmic grooves.
Returning home to Melbourne in 2018, the band spent the year fine-tuning their new album. In 2019, they recorded with Casey Harnett (<a href="spotify:artist:0I9hbMpu2a9FPWTSLkwuG5" data-name="Sui Zhen">Sui Zhen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1QyGTmXzdLNEhEn3l4vg4c" data-name="Dreamin' Wild">Dreamin' Wild</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6XYvaoDGE0VmRt83Jss9Sn" data-name="King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard">King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard</a>) in the quiet seaside town of Aireys Inlet before travelling to Los Angeles to mix with Jarvis Taveniere (<a href="spotify:artist:41SQP16hv1TioVYqdckmxT" data-name="Real Estate">Real Estate</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5J81VungUjSVHxlPpTI9KG" data-name="Mild High Club">Mild High Club</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1xVcjJ5YsYOClO2Unt3Rm8" data-name="Sunflower Bean">Sunflower Bean</a>) at CMPNY Studios.
Foreign/National's second LP, 'The Garden', was released on the 29th of May, 2020.
With Foreign/National currently on indefinite hiatus, the band’s brothers Mark and Sean Gage continue releasing music under the Post-Punk // Darkwave moniker, WEALTH.
