With the new single What Went Down dropping,
it makes it hard for fans to remember that these guys were game changers in the
indie field with their math-rocky, goodness-filled debut album Antidotes, back in 2008.
Once again showcasing that Foals isn’t a
one trick pony, we see them play more on the alt-rock side of the wave in What
Went Down. The dark and punchy riff resonates with the semi-caged vocals,
reminding us of Inhaler. And as we reach
the climactic end, we see the semi-caged, wild baby-beast, Yannis, finally let
loose and rage on!
From what we’ve heard so far, I’m thinking What
Went Down (set to be released on August
28th) will not only have more surprises in store, but for sure
will not sound anything like the other albums.
One word: evolution.
P.S. – is it too early to call their next
album to be metal?
