About this product
Foals take a fresh, thrilling new direction on with their upcoming album 'Life Is Yours', which will be released on June 17th via Warner Records. 'Life Is Yours' is the follow-up to the triumphant, two-part 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost', which proved to be a pivotal pinnacle in the band's story. It's hardly the cure for anything but Antidotes, the debut album from Oxford's Foals, is a strong addition to the eternal tradition of dance-friendly art rock most recently exemplified by Franz Ferdinand and Klaxons. The five ex-public schoolboys that make up Oxford's Foals are hardly lacking self-confidence-comically cocky frontman Yannis Phillipakis could annoy for the nation and the band rejected producer David Sitek's original mix-but Antidotes is anything but pony. After spending their youth in rigorous Inchmath rockInch outfits, Foals started out in 2005 with the stated intention of having fun. Rather delightfully, this amounted to the discovery that audiences are well disposed to acts they can dance to. A clutch of well-received singles and a guest spot on popular sixth-form satire Skins sealed their popularity. Their origins in academic rock are sometimes obvious, but fine drummer Jack Bevan keeps things moving throughout. Opener InchThe French OpenInch, with it's gleeful chanted vocals (in French) and fashionable Afrobeat tinged guitar lines, evokes Talking Heads' dada nonsense classic InchI ZimbraInch, itself older than any Foal. First top thirty hit InchCassiusInch saw jazz-punk back in the charts for the first time since that perennial football crowd favourite InchPapa's Got a Brand New PigbagInch. InchOlympic AirwaysInch is a charming if oblique tale of escape that couldn't be further from the bus stop/chip shop style while InchRed Socks PugieInch already sounds like a single in waiting. The lyrics might charitably be described as impressionistic and Phillip

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.

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. On an unseasonably warm night in March, 2013, within the august, hallowed walls of the Royal Albert Hall in London, something extraordinary happened. Five musicians took to the stage, launched into a song called Inhaler, and blew the roof off. For the 5,000-plus people who were lucky enough to be present that evening, the experience was more like a mass epiphany at a revivalist meeting than a gig. Foals whipped up a frenzy and sent it hurtling towards the audience, who gave it a shake and sent it hurtling right back. Two hours later, we staggered, reeling, out into the night. This was more than music. This was alchemy.
