Posted September 19, 20231 yr New music is being teased via their latest Instagram post, with an announcement coming at 11am tomorrow. It doesn’t feel like it’s been over 2 years since ‘Back in Love City’ now!
September 20, 20231 yr Author New album 'Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations' is out on January 12th! Lead single 'Heartbreak Kid' is out now. Fairly standard indie rock tune from them this time around, with a little heartland in there too, not a bad thing! GXpr_2Kx_tc Tracklisting: 1. Sometimes, I Swear 2. Heartbreak Kid 3. Lunar Eclipse 4. Discount De Kooning (Last One Standing) 5. Primitive Man 6. Sunkissed 7. Another Nightmare 8. Love To Walk Away 9. The Dreamer 10. Anonymous in Los Feliz
September 20, 20231 yr Author I like it, not sure R1 will support them this time? Very unlikely, they haven’t since ‘All My Friends Are Falling in Love’ in 2018, their last major label-released song.
September 20, 20231 yr I didn’t realise it was that long ago, but the lack of major label is prob the reason. The evening shows only played the last era and they didn’t make it HR from memory!

The fact that they've been around for well over a decade now probably doesn't help either! There's probably someone I'm missing, but in terms of indie bands that have been around 10+ years and are still supported, I can only think of Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, The Wombats & Bombay Bicycle Club.
October 13, 20231 yr 'Sometimes I Swear' is a proper earworm, definitely prefer it over 'Heartbreak Kid'!
October 20, 20231 yr Author Radio 1 may not support them anymore, but Radio 2 are now! 'Heartbreak Kid' has been added to their playlist this week. I definitely prefer the second release, but it's good to see anyway.

Foals! Unless they're binning them off next time too. Hope not, the singles from the last one were great, fitted in on daytime R1 just fine and The Runner is still on all the time even though it's four years old now.

I reckon they've got at least one more album of Radio 1 support to go.
November 16, 20231 yr I like it, not sure R1 will support them this time? Just to clarify they were C listed for 3 weeks on R2!
November 16, 20231 yr Author Just to clarify they were C listed for 3 weeks on R2! Talking to yourself now Steve? :P
November 16, 20231 yr Yeh lol just clarifying the convo for future reference and then I saw you mentioned it too lol
December 10, 20231 yr I wonder which of the new songs is the official single, though it's a shame radio don't seem to be on board with them lately.
