Foals – Mathletics
When a band’s press release claims that they “don’t sound like anyone else”, it’s impossible to resist trying to disprove that. On first listen to this single from Foals, they sound very much like Bloc Party, and singer Yannis Philippakis’ vocal style is virtually indistinguishable to these ears from Bloc Party’s Kele. Foals are even due to support Bloc Party in December, so it hasn’t gone unnoticed that the bands are kindred spirits. In saying that, it’s impossible not to like Foals’ infectious, energetic sound, and their debut album should be well worth a listen as it is being recorded with David Sitek of TV on the Radio.
