Foals’ West Coast tour is at hand: Foals - Electric Bloom + Electric Bloom (Malente remix)

foals Foals West Coast tour is at hand: Foals - Electric Bloom + Electric Bloom (Malente remix)

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?


MP3: Foals - Electric Bloom

Here’s a club friendly remix of ‘Electric Bloom’ by Malente:

MP3: Foals - Electric Bloom (Malente remix)

Foals all up in the West Coasts grill:

    Sep 16 Beauty Bar, Las Vegas
    Sep 17 The Glass House, Pomona
    Sep 18 El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles
    Sep 19 Street Scene, San Diego
    Sep 20 Treasure Island Festival, San Francisco

You can pick up a copy of Foals’ ‘Antidotes’ insound.com. If you dont live on the left coast check Foals’ myspace page for more tour dates and choppy/dreamy tracks.
