This month UK based indie rockers Foals hit the west coast leg of their three month tour supporting the realese of their ‘Antidotes’ album which was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on The Radio.
The band pique almost everyone’s attention when their song ‘Hummer’ landed on the Kitsune Maison Compilation 4 in June of ‘07. Since then the band has signed with staple indie-core label Sub Pop whom has been home to Nirvana, Sunny Day Real Estate and The Rapture to name a twinge. The boys were recently named as NME’s band of the year.
Traditionally Foals is a math rock band but move more towards chopped up dance-pop on “Antidotes”. At times I can’t help but be reminded of Q and not U, anyone with me on that?
