Reviewing 2010’s ‘Total Life Forever’ upon its release, NME wrote: “Throughout is a braveness and naive sense of wonder that confirms what ‘Antidotes’ suggested: that Foals will never be anything other than Foals, and if we follow them into the fog then, well, visions of startling clarity await.”
Yannis Philippakis recently spoke to NME about his time in lockdown and gave a guide to battling boredom while isolating.
