Foals by Edward Cooke
“Foals are one of my favourite bands, so this project was a dream to work on with Yannis,” says the promo’s director Tanu Muiño.
Kiev was the location and focus for Foals’ 2am video.
“We love Tanu’s work,” Yannis Philippakis comments. “It wasn’t a collaboration we would’ve predicted, but I met up with Tanu in London, we hit it off and decided to work together.”
“The moment I spoke to Tanu she was interested in the repetition of the lyrics, which is symbolic of being stuck in repeated patterns of bad behaviour. She wanted to visualise that with labyrinths and maze-like loops.”
The band premiered their new single last week with the Life Is Yours album eyed for release later this year. It was described then by Philippakis as, ‘one of the poppiest songs we’ve ever written’.
