Le leader du groupe, Yannis Philippakis (chanteur et guitariste) décide de former avec son ami de toujours Jack Bevan (batteur) le quintuor anglais FOALS.
Ces jeunes et talentueux musiciens d’Oxford, sortent leur deuxième album « Total Life Forever ».
Leur premier disque ANTIDOTES fut disque d’or en Angleterre et s’est déjà montré à la hauteur des espérances : Les critiques sont unanimes ; c’est de qualité !
Mentionné par la BBC SOUND OF 2008 aux cotés de MGMT, Adele, Duffy, Vampire Weekend...Le groupe fait désormais partie de la nouvelle scène alternative.
Le son de FOALS est comparé à celui de Block Party ou de Battles. Un son minimaliste et expérimental. De la pop aérienne audacieuse.
« Une envie de s’échapper du quotidien » disent-ils…
On partirait avec !

Band announce intimate UK tour for April and May
Oxford quintet Foals' much anticipated second album Total Life Forever will be released on May 10th, preceded on May 3rd by debut single ‘This Orient’.
Fans will hear music from this new record when the song ‘Spanish Sahara’ airs on radio for the first time this Monday evening, March 1st.
Six minutes of arresting beauty, the song inhabits a still, dry space, with simple, understated guitar chords providing a strong and emotive melody. Yannis’s haunting vocals set a hazy, hallucinatory soundscape, climaxing into a rush of shimmering guitars and keys.
I’m the fury in your head, I’m the fury in your bed, I’m the ghost in the back of your head.
An exclusive remix will be available for download on www.foals.co.uk after 8pm.
