‘Before we learn to hate. Love is our Native Tongue.’ - Jon Foreman. For their album Native Tongue, alternative rock band SWITCHFOOT step beyond their trademark epic soundscapes and explore new textures and themes that genuinely reflect this fraught cultural moment. From the hard-hitting anthemic title-track to more reflective songs such as ‘Prodigal Soul,’ ‘Joy Invincible,’ and ‘Voices,’ co-written and produced with their friends in One Republic, the band interlace empathy and introspection, urging us to ‘use our lungs for love and not the shadows.’
