Intended Immigration

Intended Immigration is a musical project known for its penchant to cross borders, decades and genres, mixing jazzy things with electro and more.

Intended Immigration's latest release "Biscuits and Cake" (out May 17, 2024) is a charmingly cheeky upbeat electro-swing original with a danceable house beat on the topic of the quintessential English tradition of tea time, whereas tea is declined, in this case, in favor of biscuits and cake.

The track features a fetching female vocal harmonized by a clarinet-led saxophone section that attempts to humbly pay homage to the sophisticated singsong of cultured British speech. The arrangement is full of entertaining surprises and lush jazz melodies carried both by the vocals and the winds.

The creative force behind Intended Immigration is Swiss-born musician and producer Thomas Feurer, who has proudly contributed to neo-retro remixes on albums by his all-time heroes Herb Alpert and Quincy Jones.

Thomas is also an accomplished saxophonist and has played with Joss Stone, Jessica Simpson, Willie Nelson, The Temptations and many more. Fun fact: Thomas happened to be in the band that Stevie Wonder hired for his daughter's wedding and got to play "Aren't They Lovely" [sic] with the man himself.

Thomas honed his majors and minors at the American School of Modern Music in Paris and the Berklee College of Music in Boston, studied law at the University of Zurich, Switzerland and received a Certificate in Intellectual Property Law from New York University.

He currently lives in the New York metropolitan area and releases music with several projects on his own label Wooden Hat Records. Music by Intended Immigration has appeared on compilations in Europe and Japan, as well as in U.S. TV shows, films and advertisements.
