Foals is a UK band that has been brought to my attention by vj – and I love them. Reminds me of …a lot of other artists actually:
Local Natives, Pinback, Band of Horses, Home Video, even Bloc Party (in a couple of songs) etc yet distinct in their own way.
Their new album – “Total Life Forever” is addicting and I can listen to the tracks over and over all night.
It was really hard to decide what songs to showcase but…Here’s a sampling. Enjoy!
What Remains (mp3)
Oh, I see you in your cobra nest all dressed up in your Sunday best…In the opal morning light -see your gun there, shining bright…Now the storm is on its way coming here to break the day…steaming rain
Oh, you go shoot me down take my halo, yolk and crown…
Spanish Sahara(mp3)
Forget the horror here…Leave it all down here
It’s future rust and then it’s future dust
I’m the fury in your head, I’m the fury in your bed, I’m the ghost in the back of your head…
Blue Blood(mp3)
You’ve got the blood on your hands, I know it’s my own. You came at me in the middle of the night to show me my soul. Of all the people, I hoped it’d be you. To come and free me, take me away.
To show me my home. Where I was born. Where I belong.
Big Big Love (fig.2)(mp3) (From the album “Antidotes”)
