About This Item
Oxford's Foals didn't their debut full-length, 'Antidotes', until the spring of 2008, but they had already begun to make quite a name for themselves, thanks to the singles 'Hummer' and 'Mathletics', and successful dates in the US the preceding autumn; meaning, of course, that the anticipation for the record had plenty of time to grow. Fortunately, 'Antidotes' was able to live up to the hype. Frontman Yannis Philippakis uses his limited vocal range to his greatest advantage, moving from yelps to half-whispered singing depending on the intensity of the piece. Album Tracks 1.
