Authenticity

Released by The Foreign Exchange Music


The new FE album "Authenticity" clocks in at a polished eleven tracks, with the memorable "Everything must go” starting off with a synthesizer melody that hypnotizes from start to finish.

MTV picking up "The Ballad of Purple St. James’”  first video for rotation is as just a much a testament to the FE+ label, as is the newest tight knit ZO!  full length.

I have no doubt we'll see a rise in notoriety of all of the artists in the collective in the not so distant future.
