Oxford quintet Foals' much anticipated second album Total Life Forever will be released on May 10th, preceded on May 3rd by debut single ‘This Orient’.
The song ‘Spanish Sahara’ aired on radio for the first time yesterday, and consisted of six minutes of arresting beauty, the song inhabits a still, dry space, with simple, understated guitar chords providing a strong and emotive melody.
Yannis’s haunting vocals set a hazy, hallucinatory soundscape, climaxing into a rush of shimmering guitars and keys. I’m the fury in your head, I’m the fury in your bed, I’m the ghost in the back of your head.
