Foals
Biography
Formed from the ashes of The Ed Fitz, Foals re-invigorated and re-invented a genre with their unique blend of minimal and post hardcore mathletics.
Having defined the sound of our times with debut single ‘Hummer' and ‘Mathletics', Foals once again ripped up the rule book with their Sitek-produced debut adding further emotional depths and boss tuneage to their already canny technique. And live they f**king rock.
Featuring the singles ‘Balloons', ‘Cassius', ‘Red Socks Pugie' and ‘Olympic Airways', Foals are perhaps the label's most defining act with their persistence with fan club shows, strange split releases (check out their killer split with Holy Fuck! or their collaborations with Kieran Hebden) Foals are, indeed, a very special band, and their new album currently in pre-production will surely cement their position as an important, devotional act.
