• Foals Tour Dates April/May 2010

Oxford quintet Foals' much anticipated second album Total Life Forever will be released on May 10th 2010, preceded on May 3rd 2010 by debut single This Orient.

The song Spanish Sahara from the new record aired on radio for the first time on Monday March 1st 2010.

Six minutes of arresting beauty, the song inhabits a still, dry space, with simple, understated guitar chords providing a strong and emotive melody. Yannis's haunting vocals set a hazy, hallucinatory soundscape, climaxing into a rush of shimmering guitars and keys.

I'm the fury in your head, I'm the fury in your bed, I'm the ghost in the back of your head.

An exclusive remix is available for download on www.foals.co.uk

The band also will also play an intimate UK tour in April/May

2008 saw the band rise to prominence - from the early days playing house parties up and down the country, to selling-out incendiary tours across the world, stand-out TV performances, and exhilarating festival appearances. Their debut album Antidotes entered the UK charts at no. 3, achieved gold status, and has attracted devoted fans across the globe.

Since then, Foals have returned to Oxford to reaffirm their roots. Living in the House of Supreme Mathematics, they built a primitive studio and rehearsal space in its basement, and immersed themselves in communal rituals. Sharing the space with like-minded musicians and artists, a tribal enterprise developed, one focused above all on making new, exciting music.

Now they return with a powerful, definitve album: Total Life Forever.

Spanish Sahara was recorded in London, 2009, and the rest of the album in Gothenburg, Sweden, during late 2009, all by Luke Smith (Clor).
