Earlier today Foals announced that they’re back with not one but two new albums this year entitled Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 1 & 2 (released via Warner Bros). Part 1 will be released on March 8th with Part 2 coming this Fall. This is the band’s first album in four years (What Went Down in 2015), their longest break between albums so far. It also is their first album without founding member and bassist Walter Gervers, who left the band last year.
So in many ways, this feels like a turning point in the band’s career, which had me very intrigued with what the new material would sound like. With a two-part album on the way, it’s clear this is going to be some of their biggest and most ambitious work to date.
Along with the album announcement, they released the first single from Part 1, “Exits.” The track definitely has familiar elements that fans have come to expect from Foals, but it definitely takes more a more textural and atmospheric approach without a big chorus or pop moment that maybe some fans are used to or expecting. But still, it’s very much a Foals song.
The music video for the track has a very cinematic quality (like a mix of Stanley Kubrick and Yorgos Lanthimos) and stars Christa Theret and Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark on Game Of Thrones).
Find the video posted below, along with the album’s tracklist and a list of their upcoming tour dates in support of the album.
