Many people felt this was the best track on Total Life Forever (I’m as yet undecided), so those people will be looking forward to this one.
I gave it a brief look and it looked pretty interesting, one of those mini-story type videos that are always good to watch.

An unreleased demo for their recent Total Life Forever album, Wear and Tear is actually pretty good stuff. The predominant similarity for me was with the last third of the brilliant Spanish Sahara, which is clearly a good thing to be held up against. For a demo, it’s also surprisingly clean sounding and could certainly have slid onto the album with no difficulties. Definitely worth a look.

What is it with me and cover tracks these last 24 hours?!
It seems that Foals also ‘wanna know your name’ as they drop off a cover of the Swedish House Mafia/Pharrell hit. Really likeable cover too, as Foals do their best at retaining the energy of the original, despite it being a live performance by an indie band.

I really like the original version of this song, and they certainly do it justice with an enjoyable live rendition of it. Not really a great deal I can say here: if you heard the original you’ll know it’s a good bit of indie music, and you’ll be very satisfied with this version.

There have also been plenty of tracks from many a new band on the block, so you’d be daft not to check this out……

Feast your eyes one the new video for Miami, the second official single from Total Life Forever.
With it’s bombastic and frankly comical style, the video for Miami suits the afro-beat-esque nature of the track whilst encaptulating it’s indulgent and vuluptuous sound. Needless to say, this is Foals throwing us a bit of a light-hearted ‘curveball’. Donwload the audio below!
