Foals - What Went Down (Single)

Foals - What Went Down

Single Review

What went down indeed? Foals' lead single off their fourth album was played on BBC Radio 1, 16th June. The reaction? Overwhelming.

The song more than manages to live up to Foals' excellent discography. The song is an epic, primal journey, in a similar vein to 2013's Inhaler, that builds up to a frantic, fanatic finish. The song is a wild, untamed beast, with Yannis Philippakis' vocals give the song that extra, raw edge, sealing the song as an instant classic. What Went Down looks to be a highlight at future concerts, a truly epic number.

What Went Down does not disappoint in the slightest, and has managed to raise all expectations for the album of the same name, due out end of August.

Listen to the track below:

Foals video - 2015

Foals Upload A New Video

-and everyone looses their mind

Last night Foals uploaded a 13 second long clip simply entitled '2015'. The video shows the band performing, with sound muted followed by the band's name appearing onscreen. A brief two seconds of a song can be heard following that. Safe to say, Foals fans everywhere have gone a bit insane.

The short clip seems to indicate that Foals are headed in a heavier, more rock orientated direction. This was previously hinted at in 2013's Holy Fire.

However, worth noting is the fact Edwin Congreave is missing from the lineup in the video. Nothing has been mentioned of this by the band themselves, but questions are being asked as to whether the keyboard player is still with the band.
