With two top 10 albums already under their belt, Oxford five-piece Foals prepare to return with their third and most exhilarating album yet, HOLY FIRE due for release in Australia and New Zealand on February 8 2013.
HOLY FIRE has been recorded by prestigious production duo Flood & Moulder
at Assault
and Battery studios in London. Their previous work includes Smashing Pumpkins,
PJ Harvey,
Nine Inch Nails, and The Killers.
The first track to be showcased is ‘Inhaler’ – an electrifying, shamanistic tune set to purge the soul and raise the dead. Heavier than anything Foals have written before, it shines with their inimitable groove and funk. ‘Inhaler’ will have its radio premiere on November 6.
HOLY FIRE is ‘dirtier, swampier, and more booty shaking’ than the
band’s 2010 release,
TOTAL LIFE FOREVER which saw the band nominated for the prestigious Mercury
award. At the 2011 NME awards they won ‘Best Single’ for ‘Spanish
Sahara’ and were nominated
for four other awards.
