Video: Foals "Miami"

The singles are coming out thick and fast from Foals second record Total Life Forever, with Miami being the third track to be released. It's a funky one with a fantastic video directed by Dave Ma, that slightly reminds me of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker and all it's weirdness. Miami is certainly a step away from Foals video's gone past and features transsexuals and body builders having a bit of a scrap! I don't need to say much more than have a look.

A serious contender for album of 2010, Total Life Forever is out now!

Video: Foals 'Spanish Sahara'

After revealing details of their forthcoming second album last week, Foals also treated fans to the first play of their new single Spanish Sahara on Zane Lowes show on BBC Radio 1 on Monday.

To accompany their welcome return to form, the stunningly shot video to Spanish Sahara was shot by Dave Ma, who is no stranger when it comes to directorial duties on Foals video's and more recently he directed the gorgeous video for The Horrors A Whole New Way.

It's six and a half minutes of beautiful, ice ridden landscapes surrounding a new invigorated sounding Foals and both video and song build heroically around Yannis Philippakis' almost lonesome vocal. Total Life Forever is the new album and it's released here on May 7th on Transgressive Records.

Foals reveal new album title-Total Life Forever.

I'm quite excited about the release of Foals second album. Yesterday on their various social networking sites the band revealed the release date for Total Life Forever, will be May 10th 2010 (May 7th Ire). Perfect timing for festival season I think.
The album was recorded in the latter part of last year at the Svenska Grammofon Studion in Gothenberg, Sweden and you can hear a first listen to their new single Spanish Sahara on the Zane Lowe show on BBC Radio 1 next Monday March 1st at 7.30pm.
