Just watched this new Foals video for "2 Trees" on Stereogum : And if you haven't seen it already here is my favorite Foals video " Spanish Sahara ":

So it's that time of year again where we surround ourselves with dirty teenagers in a field in Berkshire. Having spent three years at university in Reading, the bank holiday weekend at the end of August is now the only time I return to the place. The O!IW team will be out in force this weekend, here's who we're pretty psyched about... SUMMER CAMP - FRIDAY 15.05-15.35 - FESTIVAL REPUBLIC STAGE Try not to be moved by this video... [...]

El Mercury Prize surge como una alternativa a los Brit Awards, y el día de hoy (20 de julio), fueron anunciados los nominados a la categoría Álbum del año . Para recibirlo fueron nominados doce artistas/bandas (pueden revisarlos en la página oficial del Mercury) dentro de las cuales destaco a The xx - xx, Foals - Total Life Forever y Wild Beasts - Two Dancers. Originalmente un grupo de cuatro integrantes (ahora solamente son tres) y habiendo hecho su debut en agosto del año pasado, The xx [...]

A couple years back Oxford, UK quintet Foals brought us Antidotes , a worthy piece of music that had its time. Even more compelling is Total Life Forever, an album that injects an immediate sense of travel and exploration along with an aural spectacle of dance, chaos, darkness, reflection and immeasurable distance. The title track is twitchy nouveau disco done up in intrigue, while single "Spanish Sahara" is subdued and yearning - part Sade and half expecting Mick Hucknall to show up before the glowing lead at the end. "This Orient" is upstart multi layered [...]
Foals and Kele have featured on the blog in the past, and today we got a remix for both of their big songs so far this year. First up, Kele's 'Tenderoni', from the soon-to-be-released 'The Boxer' album, got a reworking by Kris Menace' and makes it more echoey and less claustrophobic. It makes a lot of sense now. And of course we get a dance build-up just to keep the interests piqued. Check it out just below, and download it to your hearts content. Still sounds like Wiley though... Tenderoni (Kris Menace remix) by Kele Okereke [...]

Christopher Smith: Gently Gently Foals: Spanish Sahara

Foals Total Life Forever (Sub Pop) Releasing: 11 May (Digital) / 15 June (CD) Talk about Mixed Media: Check out the state-of-the-art online promotion for the upcoming release by Foals, Total Life Forever. Complete with interactive puzzles that preview samples from the new album, the stylish site augurs a drastic shift in the band's aesthetic from its thrillingly hyperactive 2008 debut Antidotes to something more complex, more moody, and art-damaged--think less Gang of Four, more...
O álbum de estreia dos The Foals foi para mim um dos melhores de 2007. Mantenho o mesmo sentimento quando, hoje, o oiço. O meu envolvimento não se deteriorou à medida que o tempo passou, ao contrário... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Donc je connais Foals depuis un petit bout de temps, mais une amie a post leur nouveau vidéo Spanish Sahara , ce qui m'a scéllée en tant que fan accomplie. J'adorais déjà le nom, la cause étant la connotation chevaline (I love riding and horses), et j'aimais bien le easiness de leur son. En général c'est du easy-listenning. Rien de trop compliqué, aggressant, trop calme. De la musique de fond mais in the best possible way . Par contre, Spanish Sahara est différente des autres. A diamond in the [...]
Time to introduce lots of new releases here on Esoteric Mumblings again! Here are some newly released songs that I'm currently enjoying a lot. mp3: Broken Social Scene - All to All First off, another new track from Canadian indie collective Broken Social Scene's upcoming fourth studio album, Forgiveness Rock Record . All to All came out as a digital single yesterday, and I like it a lot. With its lush, atmospheric and ambient sound, and with Emily Haines (of Metric fame) [...]

The new video for Spanish Sahara via http://videos.antville.org/sto ries/1981932/ Filed under: Video
Has anyone else heard Spanish Sahara or watched this music video yet? This new music video came out on March 2nd. The name of the song alone gave me tingles down the spine. The setting for the music video just reminded me my last summer when I went to South America. I spent July on [...]
From the makers of my favorite album of 2008 comes "Spanish Sahara", the first taste of Foals ' sophomore record, Total Life Forever , due out May 10 via Sub Pop. "Spanish Sahara" reveals the band utterly transformed. The progressive dance-punk of Antidotes is nowhere to be found here. Instead, the band has moved into a much moodier, complex, and layered template. Granted, this may or may not be indicative of the album as a whole, but I think it makes a strong statement in that it doesn't inherently cater to Foals' fanbase. The [...]
Despite racking up 17 iTunes plays in a mere three days, any firm verdict on the first glimpse into Yannis Philippakis' moody minstrels Foals' second effort, Total Life Forever expected mid-May is yet to be achieved. Spanish Sahara sprawls euphorically over seven minutes of chillingly claustrophobic, emotionally overpoweringly echoes and reverberating guitar chimes, climaxing in a precariously precise crescendo that sounds like mountain goats frantically scrabbling up snowy mountainsides, in a desperate attempt to avoid the icy gaze of Foals' now-lavishly bearded frontman. The video, if slightly egotistical on Philippakis' behalf, is phenomenally beautiful, shot in Sweden as [...]
The return of Foals has me all a flutter and this whooping, spectral dub rework from Mount Kimbie of new track 'Spanish Sahara' feels just oh so perfect... Spanish Sahara (Mount Kimbie Remix) - Foals
New video revealed from Foals ' new album, Total Love Forever which is scheduled for release on May 10th, 2010. Talk about total change of direction. Yannis and co has made a drastic u-turn away from their previous highly-energetic, stop-start indierock from their first release Antidotes , a sound he once described as "making insect noises with guitars." This time Foals are more laid back and chilled out, kinda melancholy too. The video is absolutely beautiful. Also, if you go to their website , you can get a lush remix of [...]
