We've been wondering what the boys from Foals had been up to because we hadn't heard much outta their camp recently and according to NME, Foals are supporting Blur at the moment on a couple of their comeback shows. Nice. Very nice. They're also spending time in their Oxford studio laying down some material for their next album due out in 2010 sometime.
When asked what the boys hade been doing, Foals' Yannis Philippakis revealed that the band are shunning traditional rock music on their new album, instead focusing on funk, dub and classic soul. "Basically, everything that we didn't like before, we've got into now," he said, adding, "we don’t really listen to that much rock music at the moment."
"We're listening to a lot of hip-hop, stuff like Donald Byrd and some long disco edits, Donna Summer, James Brown, stuff that before we would have always felt was too part of the canon."
Waiting till 2010 to hear new material from Foals is like waiting for paint to dry, a killer. Let's hope some of this new material surfaces soon because we'd rather be teased than get absolutely nothing.
