Foals have unveiled the first taste of Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2 after earlier this week confirming it for release on October 18th.
Black Bull points towards the heavier sound Yannis Philippakis has promised when comparing it to Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1 of earlier this year, an album which has gained the band a third Mercury Prize nomination.
“For the most part, Philippakis is happy to let the album’s messages be delivered fundamentally within tramlines that will please Foals’ famously rabid fanbase, but there are occasional glimpses of what the project’s second installment could bring if he subtly chooses to turn the tables on them,” our review reads.
“One seems to be an unfinished idea – the ambient sliver of Surf Pt.1 – but Café D’Athens is a feast of percussive Asian-indebted rhythms over a looped Amen break, a feast song that could be the opening of a new chapter or simply an experiment in devilry.”
