Oxford quintet Foals' much anticipated second album Total Life Forever will be released on May 10th, preceded on May 3rd by debut single ‘This Orient’.
Fans will hear music from this new record when the song ‘Spanish Sahara’ airs on radio for the first time this Monday evening, March 1st.
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 will be available for download on www.foals.co.uk after 8pm.
