There’s something cathartic about expressing that feeling to this upbeat music that’s got a sense of release and the hope of resolution.”You can listen to it here:A statement about Foals’ upcoming album, which is yet to receive a release date, said “the group started writing the album in their south London rehearsal space in the oppressive lockdown winter of 2020.”It added: “They very naturally gravitated towards writing songs with a zeal for escapism: propulsive energy, sun-kissed melodies and transportive lyrical themes, both in terms of time and space.
