With the conclusion of other remaining projects and collaborations, there’s no focus other than dirk serries’ongoing exploration of minimalism. four years in the making and undoubtly fuelled by his 2009 debut and previous mainstays vidnaObmana and fear falls burning, this second microphonics studio album is a heartbreaking symphony of echoing themes, wailing overtones and beautiful desolation. microphonics xxi-xxv, subtitled ‘mounting among the waves, there’s a light in vein. the burden of hope across thousands of rivers’ does hint towards an emotional statement, one that boldly goes beyond what previously achieved.

On September 25th 2012 Monolathe Recordings released The Foreign Resort's current LP "Scattered & Buried" in the USA on CD as well as worldwide as a download. From February 2nd 2013 on, the CD and a bit delayed the vinyl will be available via afmusic (TS-Musix).
"Scattered & Buried" is a collection of remakes, remixes and new songs, that shows the sound in the stress field of New Wave, Shoegaze and Post rock consequently and stands in the tradition of bands such as The Cure, Joy Division and Editors. Already with the opener "Delayed" it gets clearly, with which implication The Foreign Resort move their way, followed by the epic song "Stop killing me, we should never be apart". "Lost My Way(2012)", originally released on the "Offshore"-release, breaks the Wavepop of the band's early days completely and heaves the song to a complete new level.
And no release of the Danes would be complete without one song, in which you can lose yourself. "We're gonna drown before we give in" is the dominating topic behind "Tide". The release gets supplemented by remixes from Novachild, Sway and Evol, who picked the fans' favourite songs and packed them into a complete new atmosphere. "Scattered & Buried" is an important step for The Foreign Resort and shows clearly, what to expect in the future of this band, that already toured the USA successfully twice. For whom the band was an unwritten piece of paper, will find the perfect introduction with "Scattered & Buried".
