Foals: Life Is Yours (Album of the Week)

Oxford lads Foals are back with a new record called Life Is Yours. Within a few seconds of my first listen, I wondered if I had picked up a Level 42 album instead. Being a total nerd for that 80s outfit, I was ecstatic! The themes and the style of this record will make fans of either band happy. 

Get ready to dance!

Foals: Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost-Parts 1 and 2

Oxford's Foals decided to make two albums last year. Thank God. This quartet has been blowing me away since 2008's Antidotes and they continue to impress on a massive scale. Part 1 was released at the outset of 2019 and Part 2 arrived at the end of the year. They were perfect bookends for a fine band making some powerful statements about the state of our world. Each record has a distinct style as can be heard in the clips below.

With these releases, Foals has officially enshrined themselves in the Brit Rock Hall of Fame.
