Posted June 17, 201510 yr iuQQIawCqBA Single is out now (of course it is, they actually care about the fans and not chart positions) Album: 28th August. Happy now Pav?
June 17, 201510 yr Author Yes that would have been easier. However that would have required: a) wisdom b) forward-thinking Both qualities I do not possess.
June 17, 201510 yr I do like this on first listen. Holy Fire wasn't a perfect album, but it's 2 lead singles were highlights of both years they were released. Interesting to see what the album brings. From the sounds of it, it looks like this might follow the pattern they used for the release of singles for their last single - ie a longer, more cerebral 'buzz single' to open the campaign OA/OS (a la Inhaler), then followed by a more poppy-accessable song as the main lead-in single (a la My Number)

Having said that - they don't half crank out some amazing singles, hopefully some energetic numbers like “Balloons” on this LP? They remain a fantastic live outfit though and I'm looking forward to them touring again! Yay. :D
June 21, 201510 yr I was thinking the mods could just move those posts but okay this is FINE I GUESS mods?? loooove this. i keep xpecting them to come back and finally be a bit crap but omg they're always such BANGRS
July 20, 20159 yr -QHZ2YRPFVo Liking these first two a lot more than the first two we heard from 'Holy Fire'! Good omen for the album.
July 20, 20159 yr Author I think the melodic part of “What Went Down” and “Mountain At My Gates” hints at the vibe on this LP being more Total Life Forever than Holy Fire and that this is certainly a VERY GOOD thing. !

"Mountain At My Gates" reminds me of "Like a Prayer" in places, strangely enough.

August 7, 20159 yr Author Another new song “A Knife In The Ocean” has been put up for download now. The lyric video has been directed by Leif Podhajsky. g-n4U2KZZVs Sounds a bit Parachutes early-Coldplay era. Very excited for this album indeedy !
August 29, 20159 yr So, for the first time ever, I'm really liking a Foals album. It may just be that I've not really listened to many guitars in quite some time but I'm liking it, even if it does basically sound like the best bits from the album with the blue cover (whatever that was called!)

August 29, 20159 yr Yes, that would be the one! I really liked This Orient and Spanish Sahara and then wished the rest sounded more like this album actually does. It makes up for the disappointment of my other download yesterday, The Weeknd's album.
August 31, 20159 yr Only heard this once but it was nice enough to try again~ 'Give It All' is quite fabulous though, isn't it? <3
