Product Description
Antidotes, the acclaimed debut album by UK quintet Foals, won them attention, and the opportunity to evolve in a space of their own. Two years on from that impressive introduction, Total Life Forever is the sound of a band settling into and surveying the decay of old protocols. Written primarily in the basement of their Oxford HQ and recorded in Gothenburg, Total Life Forever is an album as persuasive emotionally as Antidotes was physically.

I seem to be the only person who cares about this one. It has leaked and is a real beauty. Reminds me of the early Everything But the Girl tracks on which Ben Watt sang. Doesn't sound like, mind you, but reminds me of. Quite somber compared Antidotes.

BTW, I like your latest avatar.

Thank you, sir

Foals: 'Recording our new album was the worst thing in the world'
Band admit to in-studio tension during 'Total Life Forever' sessions

Foals have admitted that the recording sessions for new album 'Total Life Forever' were akin to "the worst thing in the world".

In an interview you can read in full in this week's issue of NME (out nationwide now), the band reveal all on the new album, which is released next Monday (May 10). Plus, watch a video interview with the band at the bottom of your screen now.

In the interview, keyboardist Edwin Congreave admitted that the band, who decamped to Gothenburg for the sessions, were at times less than confident about how the record would turn out.

"There were points when I thought 'This is the worst thing in the world'", Congreave explained, adding: "I fucking hated some songs, like, 'Why are we doing this song? This is bollocks!' Then as soon as i heard the record was finished i went away and listened to it and thought it was amazing."

Meanwhile, frontman Yannis Philippakis also admitted that "there were people who wanted to leave the recording process" at various points during the sessions.
