Album — Antidotes by Foals

2008 April 17

Advantage, Putman ...

Foals are a twitch party band from Oxford, England. The music is poppy electric dance-punk (with roots in math rock) that moves from murky to move-inducing to mixing the two together. The album was recorded in June 2007, but had to be remixed to fit the band’s desired sound. The American version has two extra tracks — “Hummer” and “Mathletics” — compared to the earlier U.K album. Check for yourself.

Quarters for the songs: Heavy Water; Big Big Love; Mathletics;

Worth listening, if you like: Bloc Party; The Rapture; Youthmovies; TV on the Radio; Baby Shambles; Razorlight; The Futureheads; Wolf Parade; The Long Blondes; Kenna.

    Disclaimer- this has nothing to do with the Foals or whatever they are.

    PL- That is ironic that you mentioned Hayes Carll the other day. I was at a wedding in Austin this weekend and one of my friends drove up from San Marcos (Home of the Texas State Bobcats) for the festivities. He was telling me about him and we jammed the entire CD several times on Saturday night, it was good stuff. I was checking out his website and I noticed he has tour dates in Houston and STL w/in the next 2 months.
