Foals’ new album is due on June 17th.
Foals have previewed more of their new album Life Is Yours in the form of 2001.
“2001 feels like a postcard from the past,” Yannis Philippakis says. “We moved to Brighton around that time, we were a young band, and there was the feeling of the first taste of independence.”
“The moment you get those freedoms, you’re surrounded by temptation. The references to beachside candy and Brighton rock are symbols for drugs and hedonism.”
“This was written in the depths of the pandemic winter, and there’s an escapist desire to break out from the feeling of being cooped up, both in terms of the pandemic and adolescence.”
Basking in the glow of the 40,000 run at London’s Olympia venue, Foals will play Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Coventry at the end of this month.
