Foals appear to be preparing us for not one but two studio albums at some point this year.
After carefully starting their return late in 2018 with the confirmation of some live appearances, the band are right now counting down to something presumably big on social media, and have shared a 30-second clip on Twitter which ask us to look out for two parts to ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost’.
It shouldn’t be forgotten either that Foals are embarking on a new chapter as a four-piece following the departure of bass player Walter Gervers, and they’ve shared the first picture of this ‘new’ line-up.
“To all our fans,” they wrote when Gervers left. “Sadly we have to announce that our mate Water has decided to leave the band to pursue a new life. The parting has been sad but we remain firm friends. He’ll always be our brother, we love him and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
“We had 12 amazing years touring together from a small postal van to the Pyramid Stage and beyond. It’s the end of a chapter, but not the end of the book. We want to thank him for all his time and energy and passion and we want to thank you for all your support from the early days and into the future.”
