Foals have dropped a new song.
Following Wake Me Up and 2am, the upbeat, summery Looking High unfurls around a dancy, synth-led groove, with frontman Yannis Philippakis singing in a fragile falsetto. It marks the latest preview of the band's upcoming seventh album, 'Life Is Yours', due out on June 17. Philippakis explained:
"This is looking back to a more hedonistic time in my life, and a more innocent time in society in general, pre-pandemic and before the existential threat of climate change. It takes place in an alley in Oxford with two clubs – The Cellar and The Wheatsheaf – that all the city’s nightlife gravitated towards. It was before clubs started to close down and our cities started to change into more corporate, arid places. There’s an element of being haunted by nightlife that’s no longer there."
As well as the new track, Foals have revealed they'll drop a vinyl repress of their debut LP 'Antidotes', in celebration of the 14th anniversary of its release, on June 17.
Foals will headline this year's Latitude Festival, alongside Lewis Capaldi and Snow Patrol. They'll also play shows across the UK and Ireland this spring and summer, including dates that were rescheduled due to COVID-19.
