Foals make me jealous. I mean, how embarrassing is it to see these kids
blast their way onto the scene with the kind of awe-inspiring, frenetic
indie-meets-dance-punk you wished that second Valentinos EP would’ve
had? Pretty embarrassing. In the spotlight for less than a year and
Foals have already featured on a Kitsuné Maison compilation, inked
major deals, and had their drummer pose for Burberry’s Spring/Summer
line. Shit, these kids get their record produced by TV On The Radio’s
main man Dave Sitek and essentially scrap his mixes in favour of their
own. Next thing you know they’ll be ignoring all those MySpace messages
from Timbaland. Damn them.
Then they go and rub it in my face
with their terrific debut album Antidotes. Look at them…flaunting those
nervous guitar lines, those booming drums and fevered vox. Even the
horns can’t slow down the raucous second single Cassius, nor the stomp
of Heavy Water. By Dave Ruby Howe.
