Foals are streaming their new single 2am

Foals’ new album ‘Life Is Yours’ has been set for release this summer.

Foals are streaming their new single 2am, described by Yannis Philippakis as, ‘one of the poppiest songs we’ve ever written’.

The track was recorded during sessions with producers John Hill and Dan Carey between the latter’s south London space and Real World Studios in Bath, written – along with the rest of the forthcoming LP – during that dark winter of 2020.

“It’s about repetitive cycles of destructive behaviour, which I think lots of people can relate to, and certainly it’s an expression of something that I struggle with,” Philippakis added. “There’s something cathartic about expressing that feeling to this upbeat music that’s got a sense of release and the hope of resolution.”

UK tour dates for the band, meanwhile, start with two sold-out nights at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall in April.
