Foals are back, and sounding meaner and beefier than ever. Check out the track and video for 'What Went Down' below.
The title track from their upcoming fourth album, 'What Went Down' sees the band pick up where they left off with 'Inhaler', albeit with a much more menacing and progressive sound - laced with rich layers of synth but lifted by a feral punk edge.
"It is one of the most savage and animalistic songs we've ever done," said frontman Yannis Philipakis. 2When we play it in a room, it just feels predatory, it feels like we're on a hunt or something.
"[Producer] James Ford really pushed me to get into a place with the vocal texture where it was just like berserk."
He continued: "Ford really pushed us and we couldn't be happier. It's going to be our best album, that's how we feel at the moment, which is unusual for us to feel that at ease. I think this is the record where a lot of the different sides of the band have come into focus."
