Foals - "Total Life Forever" (10 May 2010)

[AFRO SAMURAI]

Man, I am so effing excited for the return of Foals!! They released one of the best singles of 2007 ("Hummer") and one of my favorite albums of 2008. I really hope they bring it this time around.

The new album is called Total Life Forever and it's supposedly much mellower and more sparse than their first album. There's a track-by-track review at NME. They love the album!

So far, the only song I've heard is the amazing "Spanish Sahara" (LINK). Yannis sounds awesome!

The first single is supposedly "This Orient," which I haven't heard yet. It's out 3 May 2010!

I loved "Hummer" and "Balloons." Really looking forward to this!

I'm not really a big fan of "This Orient".

I can't look at the cover without being reminded of Nirvana.

"Balloons" used to be my jam but I'm not really a fan of their music.

Leaked!!! Solid album, not as good as their first, but there are definitely some standout tracks. I don't think there's a radio hit on it, though.

I've gotten really into this lately. It's so ambient as an album.

"Miami," "2 Trees," and the title track are my favorites so far. Subject to change as I let the album marinate more.

Now I'm obsessed with "Blue Blood."
