The Foreign Films from Canada?

Like the soundtrack to a distant summer, The Foreign Films (Bill Majoros & friends) create cinematic songs that remind us of our past while we contemplate our future.

The Foreign Films debut double disk was recorded and mixed by Carl Jennings with additional mixing by James Heidebrect (Sloan, The Constantines)

Bill Majoros has recorded and toured North America with a number of bands(Flux ad,The Clouldsmen/ The Paper Airplane Company,Universal Honey and Altogether Morris) with critical acclaim and support from such musical luminaries as Daniel Lanois (U2 ,Bob Dylan), Robbie Robertson and the late great BBC DJ John Peel.
