ART SCHOOL DROPOUTS HUNGRY FOR THE DOLLAR : j // y // e // w // j

Foals are a five-piece dance-rock band currently living in their home town Oxford. Yannis Philippakis (vocals/guitar), Edwin Congreave (keyboards), Walter Gervers (bass), Jimmy Smith (guitar) and Jack Bevan (drums) met in their native city, where they bonded over a shared sense of humour. Bored with the interchangeable electro records they heard at every party, they decided to make the kind of music they wanted to dance to. “We wanted to make music that was very technical, that wasn’t just party music, but at the same time you could dance to it,” explains Yannis.

Last June, Foals travelled to Brooklyn, New York to record their debut album, Antidotes, with TV On The Radio guitarist and producer David Sitek, whose previous credits include Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Liars. Yannis recalls: “The first thing he said to me when I spoke to him on the phone was, If you want to make a glossy pop record then don’t work with me. We thought, He sounds great.”
