Dunno about the rest but Spanish Sahara is very good IMO. Very different sound brilliantly executed. Didn't think This Orient was that good first listen but growing on me. Looking forward to the album AND to seeing them on the Oxford date of their tour, given that they're boys of the city!

Also, loving that you listen to Minus The Bear - correct decision. Though on the basis ofMy Time, I'm actually very worried that Omni might be shit. Gulp.

What ever the first proper single was, not Spanish Sahara so I guess The Orient, I liked.
I only heard their first record the other week and it reminded me most of Bloc Party actually. I think it was the vocals mostly.

I really can't wait for this one, I was a huge fan of the first album but I like what I've heard of the second even more...also going to see them on tour in London, also very exciting!
Already have a feeling this will be up there in the running for one of the albums of the year.

Oh my, it's awesome. Will probably be my album of the year... alongside hopefully a certain 3rd album we're expecting.
I saw Foals last night at the Electric Ballroom (never realised what a nice venue it is, it looks so scummy from the outside!) and they are one of those bands who are rising their performance with their profile, they really impressed me. Don't think there will be much else coming out of my stereo for a little while!
Standout track imo is Miami. I think, but that'll change, it always does!
