Foals // Total Life Forever
"THE FUTURE IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE"
After an amazing debut album two years back - the endemic Antidotes to urban landscapes - Foals are back. We already have two utterly visually and audibly gorgeous singles, This Oriente & Spanish Sahara, plus a sneak peek at what is coming our way via the new website totallifeforever.co.uk. From the imagery and sound conveyed the boys from Oxford are expanding their sound towards deserted, almost untainted landscapes by human touch as if we were all fated to find solace at the bottom of ocean. Quite the grim perception of things to come hey?
Total Life Forever will be out via Transgressive and Sub Pop on May 10th.

Double Dagger // Masks EP
There is really something special going on with Double Dagger. From the first moment I heard them, via last year's phenomenal More, I have to admit I very much hooked. There are no new paths in the current musical landscape being treaded here, mind you, but perhaps... perhaps that just it: this is straight-forward post-rock of the angular variety reminiscent of bands like Slint, Shellac, June of 44 and Part & Labor delivered in a very honest and efficient manner. As such, Double Dagger do not sound violent. Sure, their sound is fierce at it's most effusive moments, but it never actually reaches that stage that makes you want to break shit up. (c'mon, admit it, we all get that) They are the perfect example of music that seems intent on making yourself let go and just have fun. And for that, they should be adored *everywhere*.
The Mask EP is out now via Thrill Jockey. There is no video as of yet, but you have a freebie just below of the brash Pillow Talk, courtesy of Stereo Gum.

Out Now! // Lairs' Sisterworld
Apparently folksy introvert new single Scissor from relentless experimentalists Liars suddenly turns into full blown guitar debauchery with wanton drum action. Surprised? Well, it is the Liars, so nothing should really come as a surprise. If you ask me, they spent too much time smoking illegal things with Einstürzende Neubauten, which only honed the customary Liars insanity. Let the good times being!
Check the video below, preview the full album on their myspace, download the first single Scissor here, click the buy links and just let yourself go.
