With a second album just out on the market (" This Life Forever" - 2010) and will soon also diseccionaré, today we'll focus on the debut album from these guys from Oxford called Antidotes "which was released in 2008.
This " Antidotes" is a breath of fresh air and a full-fledged whiplash, relentlessly. If you want to beat a record that you put batteries, optimistic, and that makes you move your body, this is your album! In it you will find a combination of new rave (dance fusion of indie rock with electronica and punk) with available math rock (syncopated rhythms with almost mathematical precision) and air funk clearly enhanced by an interesting horn section. Topics carefree, happy and dancing, are almost all hits that would work solvent in any dance floor and secured party are synonymous. Its frenetic pace can remember us positively ! (Chk Chk Chk) or LCD Soundsystem, though the voice of lead singer Yannis Philippakis also reminds us too negatively of Kele Okereke of Bloc Party hateful. In short, good Foals debut album a very regular hesitates only slightly in the beginning but once cruising speed acquired from the 4 th cut "Olympic Arways " and is unstoppable. It is an extraordinary CD, surely not go down in history but perfectly fulfills its purpose and overall result is more than satisfactory.
Let it issues "Antidotes "
1. The French Open : good start already guess funk rhythm the album, with great power of the winds and a powerful chorus.
2. Cassius : fast hit that serves as a single presentation and that is their most famous track. Is the cutting disc and almost danceable just touching the histrionics. Here the math rock bases are most evident.
3. Red Sock Pugie : the issue that most reminds Bloc Party, if we say that is what we believe them without question. Still not bad, has a good beat and catchy, although it is too long with a slower final speed that does not add much of anything.
4. Olympic Arways : without doubt the best song on the album. The simple guitar riffs of this issue combined with a subtle but precise percussion and bass line makes good distilling supreme elegance. Much calmer than the other tracks on the album, shows that for a apace no need to climb the revolutions nonsense.
5. Electric Bloom : Like Olympic Arways this a lot about the little calm compared to the rapid start of the disk. Bill similar theme, elegant, with an interesting guitar riffs and good bass line, and also do not see the horn section. The best of the album.
6. Balloons : short but intense funk issue with electronic touches, another light hits the disc with an impressive rate and a successful work of the horn section.
7. Heavy Water : downtempo quiet does not lose the essence of the disc. The 2 part of the topic are encouraged quite a pace and funk math rock.
8. Two Steps, Twice : like Heavy Water quiet start to finish in a crescendo of rhythmic percussion and rhythms of pure rock essence math.
9. Big Big Love (Fig. 2) : After Olympic Arways , the second best song on the album. It is the dream of the disk track with a dreamy intro with a pretty impressive but simple tap and an equally simple percussion. Gradually, the issue is growing as the plotting is accelerated to finally transforms into a dance where electronics whiplash gains prominence.
10. Like Swimming : short instrumental separator just 2-minute highlight that as a curious note palms as percussion on a guitar riffs with slight Asian touches.
11. Tron : final discrete remains half-hearted from funk and rock math. Luckily, it encourages slightly at the end.
