Foreign Affairs’ debut album "Brothers" is a confident, emotionally charged introduction from Bristol brothers Adam and Lawrence Purnell. With its carefully crafted mix of British roots, Americana, blues, and folk, the record offers a bold testament to the duo’s long-standing musical partnership and hard-earned artistry. Two standout tracks, “Walk Away” and “Move Your Body”, showcase the emotional range and collaborative strength at the heart of the album.
“Walk Away” opens with a vivid, disarming lyric, “Take a spoonful of sugar, babe. Mix it in your teeth”, and launches into a gritty, guitar-driven track that captures the pain of emotional distance.
In contrast, “Move Your Body” is swaggering and playful, a blues-infused middle finger to monotony. With its heavy slide guitar and head-nodding tempo, the song invites listeners to let loose without pretense. Written as a love letter to their Bristol roots, it’s both grounded and liberating, turning fatigue into something joyful.
It's a remarkable two songs to introduce the new project..
