Foals have officially announced two albums after previously teasing them online, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1 and Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 2, and have shared a cinematic video for Part 1‘s first single, “Exits.” They have also announced some tour dates. Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1 is due out March 8 via Warner Bros., with Part 2 due out this autumn. Watch the video for “Exits” below, which is followed by Part 1‘s tracklist and cover art, as well as the tour dates.

The albums are the follow-up to 2015’s What Went Down. Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis produced the albums, which were recorded at 123 Studios in Peckham, London with the help of engineer Brett Shaw. The band also features Jimmy Smith (guitar), Jack Bevan (drums), and Edwin Congreave (keys).

In a press release Philippakis had this to say about releasing two albums: “They’re two halves of the same locket. They can be listened to and appreciated individually, but fundamentally, they are companion pieces.”

Philippakis says that the albums do address the environmental crisis our planet faces. “There’s a definite idea about the world being no longer habitable in the way that it was,” he says. “A kind of perilousness lack of predictability and a feeling of being overwhelmed by the magnitudes of the problems we face. What’s the response? And what’s the purpose of any response that one individual can have?”

Philippakis adds: “Lyrically, there are resonances with what’s going on in the world at the moment. I just feel like, what’s the utility of being a musician these days, if you can’t engage with at least some of this stuff? These songs are white flags, or they’re SOSs, or they’re cries for help… each in a different way.”

Albert Moya directed the “Exits” video, which features actors Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Game of Thrones) and Christa Théret, and was produced by CANADA.
