Foals previously announced their new album, What Went Down (out August 28 via Warner Music). They’ve already shared the title track via its video and the audio for “Mountain At My Gates,” as well as its Spherical virtual reality video. Now “What Went Down” gets the remix treatment courtesy of The Haxan Cloak (aka British producer and musician Bobby Krlic), who muddies up the song with distorted vocals and dirty beats. It keeps threatening to build into a dancefloor banger, but then goes in more experimental directions. More

Music videos are an underappreciated form of storytelling. The video for the Foals song “My Number,” however, doesn’t misuse the potential of even a simple live-show-music-video formula. Exploring every corner of the venue, and even outside, the video offers a broad perspective on an often overused pop music trope. More

Wait four years for a new Foals album and then two come along at the same time. Almost. If 2015’s What Went Down was the record that elevated the Oxford outfit to rock’s major league, then the follow-up would undoubtedly provide a leg up to the next stratospheric level. More

Holy Fire opens with a sense of gravity. A low buzz and a pattering in the distance draft images of cavernous space before the guitar even shimmers into existence. And then it builds, each new instrument stoking the fire. More

Feb 22, 2013 By Dan Lucas

Holy Fire is one of those records that could be succinctly summarized in five words: “This is a Foals album.” Anyone familiar with their output since 2008 debut Antidotes will know exactly what it sounds like, with modulated synths combining with tremolated guitars (so much tremolo!) to sound a bit like all those bands whose albums Dave Sitek produced during his reign as King of Brooklyn circa 2008. More

Day two of Coachella 2011 offered few surprises, but plenty of solid sets, including two British bands—one reunited ‘90s legends back for another try, and the other a star-making main stage performance from a band still on their debut album. More
