Motive for Movement was a Tulsa, Oklahoma indie rock band that formed in 2005. The band consisted of the four members now known as Foreign Home. The band has gone through many style shifts since 2005 but consistently combines angular guitar and syncopated drums for a style often described as ambient shoegazing indie rock with Britpop melodic sensibilities.
