Foals are a band from Oxford, England, United Kingdom, formed in 2005. The band’s musical influences are varied. Their musical style is linked to various genres such as indie rock, dance-punk and math rock.
Current members, Jack Bevan and Yannis Philippakis were originally in cult math rock band The Edmund Fitzgerald, but disbanded after they claimed that things had become “too serious” and they wanted to have more “fun making their music”. The now lead singer of Youthmovies, Andrew Mears, originally formed part of the band, playing as guitarist and lead vocalist. He was present on the bands debut 7” single Try This On Your Piano/Look at My Furrows of Worry, but left shortly afterwards to concentrate on Youthmovies’ debut album Good Nature.
Hummer, the band’s first single with current line-up of Yannis Philippakis on vocals and guitar, Jack Bevan on drums, Jimmy Smith on guitar, Edwin Congreave on keyboard and Walter Gervers on bass, was released as a digital download and on vinyl on April 23, 2007.
Foals began working on their debut album, Antidotes in 2007. The album was recorded in Stay Gold Studios, Brooklyn and was produced by Dave Sitek and socialite Wendy Jane. Although content with Sitek’s participation in the album’s recording process, the band decided to do mixing of the album themselves. Antidotes was released on March 24, 2008 in the United Kingdom on Transgressive Records and on April 8, 2008 in the United States through Sub Pop.

i agree with 'ItsLuizzHolmez ' on pretty much everything he's said the b-sides he mentioned do have a similar feel to Spanish Sahara, and they don't have a set sound, i honestly can't wait for the new album

@OLdSKuul62, there was a remix contest for that song few years ago. also, i love spanish sahara so much, hope that the new album will sound more like that and not a recycled version of antidotes some people seem to wish for.

OK I`m new to this band , anyone care to tell me WHY ALL THE ELECTRIC BLOOM REMIXES ? It sort of reminds me of The Simple Minds and all thier Remixes except they didnt have 20 + remixes of the SAME song !

AlternateRaiL wrote:
I misspoke then. It's not the Foals I fell in love with. Which of their B-sides sounds like Spanish Sahara, I'd love to hear them. The only ones I've heard are Hummer, Mathletics and Big Big Love (Fig. 1).

ive seen the fly thing before already. and saying that "its not foals" is kinda stupid. they only have one alum out atm. they really dont have a set sound. besides. the b sides arent too different to spanish sahara and what we`ve heard so far of the other songs

Can't wait for the new album. Here's hoping Spanish Sahara is an outlier though. It's a really good song, but it's not Foals. I really want Total Life Forever to have that same brash, explosive and rough sound that Antidotes had. The sound of crazy house parties and sweaty experimentation.
