Sub Pop Records To Release Foals' Album "Total Life Forever" In The US

In April of 2008, Sub Pop Records released the US version of "Antidotes," the debut album by Oxford, UK quintet Foals. Two years on from that introduction, a choice has been made-rather than contort "Antidotes"' lithesome guitars into ever more elaborate patterns, "Total Life Forever" is the sound of a band settling into and surveying the decay of old protocols. "Total Life Forever" will be available in the US digitally on May 11th, 2010, and on CD and double-LP June 15, 2010.

"I feel like I'm wearing less masks with my lyrics now," offers 23-year-old frontman and guitarist Yannis Philippakis. "Before I felt secure behind cryptic images-I liked stuff that didn't show me to myself, but on this record I tried to express things with more truth."

Written primarily in the basement of their Oxford HQ ("The House Of Supreme Mathematics") and recorded in Gothenburg with former Clor man Luke Smith.
