THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS - “Lovin’ You Ain’t Easy” b/w “We’re Dancin’ (‘Til It Blows Over)” [2024, 7” Outer Battery Records]

I recently had the unique opportunity to record and mix The Foreign Correspondents. They are a super-group of sorts, featuring Ted Leo on vocals, Brendan Canty from Fugazi on drums, Michael Hampton from Faith/Fake Names on guitar and Sohrab Habibion from The Obits on bass. The Foreign Correspondents recorded two songs with me at Serious Business in DUMBO. Both tracks are covers originally written in the early 70's by French Canadian pop-rock legend Michel Pagliaro. The result is this 2 song 7" A1. Lovin' You Ain't Easy B1. We're Dancin'.

Sometimes the best music happens when a group of friends get together and discover that they’re mutual fans of the same artist. When that group of friends is Ted Leo on vocals and guitar, Brendan Canty from Fugazi on drums, Michael Hampton from Faith/Fake Names on guitar, and Sohrab Habibion from The Obits on bass then you know that the recording is going to be special, and when the inspiration is the early 70’s work of French-Canadian legend Michel Pagliaro then you can be certain that it’s going to be magical.

Pressed on 4 different vinyl colors with 4 unique covers, these singles can be purchased individually or bundled together at a great price. As always, we have a limited number of copies available from our Berlin office so that you Europeans can buy them without having to worry about those pesky import taxes.

Lovin’ You Ain’t Easy is the first 7” in a series of nuggets from the Foreign Correspondents, join them as they travel the world searching for lost classics!
