unser jahrzehntrückblick neigt sich dem ende zu. das trifft sich gut, denn auch das jahr 2009 und damit eben auch das jahrzehnt ist in weniger als einer woche zu ende. für 2008 macht es nicht allzuviel sinn, noch viele worte über songs und alben des jahres zu schreiben, denn das alles könnt ihr in einem post von damals nachlesen. hier also nur die jeweiligen topplisten: meine lieblingsalben damals the indelicates – american demo Friska Viljor – [...]
click image to view album in itunes Sounds like: Bloc Party, Battles, LCD Soundsystem, Klaxons What's so good? Be warned: this isn't the newest, cutting-edge music. It is, however, some of the best. I haven't written about Foals on Indie Shuffle yet, but I can say that hands down, this is easily one of my top three favorite albums to have come out of 2008. Not everyone will like it, but I have consistently found myself playing it on [...]
Give A Fuck For A Fuck You Making insect noises with guitars . And definitely not indie. That's was what this band, from the university town of Oxford here in the UK, once described its music. When Foals burst into the scene about a year and a half back, I was absolutely sold. Insectoid guitars, off kilter off-beat drums, well crafted lyrics like: "I could cut my hands off now, just to force this gale [...]
Release Date: 04.08.08 And you thought dancepunk had seen all the combinations and crossbreeding you could think of. Well think again, Junior. Oxford England's Foals have stepped onto the scene with their mathrock/dancepunk tendencies and changed things up enough to be noticed. I have a feeling I won't enjoy this sound forever, but for now it reminds me of the first time I listened to The Faint. I love these fast pace dance tunes, the snotty British slang vocals and the intricate mathrock guitar plucking that make up their musical pallet. [...]
British quintet Foals are not brazenly avant garde on Antidotes , but their intricate and dancey brand of art-punk is no less enjoyable for it.
While I'm a good boy about keeping up with the pop singles chart, when it comes to classier, indie-oriented stuff I tend to focus on the familiar. Last night I hunkered down with Sun Kil Moon's April , The Gutter Twins' Saturnalia , and Portishead's Third , all great albums from artists who made their biggest impression well over a decade ago. So it's not a total surprise that I hadn't heard any of the five nominees for the Mojo Honours' Breakthrough Act Of 2008. But it gave me an excuse to get [...]
Foals: Toen ze vorig jaar in het voorprogramma van Bloc Party stonden vond ik het wel een aardig bandje, maar de grote hype in Engeland kon ik toch echt niet begrijpen. Inmiddels zijn we een aantal maanden verder en begin ik de single 'Cassius' zowaar erg lekker te vinden. Gaat het debuutalbum Antidotes dan toch nog een plekje in mijn platenkast krijgen? Check de video... ...

So are you one of those people who constantly bitch about how much better Bloc Party was before A Weekend in the City ? Well, talk pre- Weekend Bloc Party, sprinkle a little bit of the band Battles on top and I might have a tasty treat to add to your music diet. The band is Foals and the Oxford, England quintet's debut album, Antidotes, is a outstanding progression of the [...]
One of my favorite finds of 2008, was Ruby Suns' latest album, "Sea Lion", which has been in heavy rotation since my first listen. They're currently on tour with some other ICTH faves such as Throw Me The Statue, Le Loup, and Foals. Dates below: :::Ruby Suns - 2008 Tour Dates::: Mar 24 - Union Hall - Brooklyn, NY ** Mar 25 - TT The Bear's - Cambridge, MA ** Mar 27 - Waldron Arts Centre - Bloomington, IN ** Mar 28 - Schubas ** Chicago, Illinois Mar 29 - First Ave, 7th Street [...]
I'm back finally. I'm still not out of this patch. If anything I slid quickly from one patch into another. This better be quick. I've got to clean the house for my mother. The New Pornographers- Myriad Harbour I kind of missed out on the new album, I remember this one being great, and now it has [...]

Mettete che vi sono piaciuti i Battles ma in fondo li trovate un po' troppo incartati su sé stessi. Oppure che vi siano piaciuti anche un po' i !!! ma trovate i loro suoni troppo tipicamente americani. Se vi rispecchiate in almeno una delle due di queste descrizioni fanno sicuramente per voi i Foals . Vengono da Oxford e sono un quartetto tutto punk-funk ed adrenalina molto meno hype di Klaxons e Bloc Party ma di ottima fattura. Ritmi serrati e chitarre che dire taglienti sembra un eufemismo. Il loro primo album, [...]
