Tapes

Foals have mixed the next edition of !K7's Tapes series, which will be released in early July.
The UK indie outfit is the third band selected to curate a Tapes compilation for !K7, after efforts from The Rapture and The Big Pink. Foals has linked up with crossover acts like The Field and Mount Kimbie for remix collaborations over the past few years, and Foals Tapes, the group's first official mix, reveals a similarly keen eye for the more experimental corners of club music. The mix will be released on CD, but its tracks are divided in half like on a cassette: one side is more song-oriented, the other is a bit more track-y. Side A features selections from Nicolas Jaar, Clark and John Talabot, among others, while Edwin Congreave (the main DJ in the band) uses Side B to work in tunes from Arnold Jarvis, Oni Ayhun, Jimmy Edgar and Midland.
Foals是由主唱/吉他手Yannis Philippakis、吉他手Jimmy Smith、贝斯手Walter Gervers、鼓手Jack Bevan、键盘手Edwin Congreave这五位20岁出头年轻小伙子所组成的乐团。
　　单曲「Balloons」曾进军英国单曲榜#39，NME大胆赞誉「New bands that will define the year!」
　　从Hot Chip、Klaxons、LCD Soundsystem等几组团体掀起近几年燃烧全球的Dance-punk新浪潮音乐，这种将舞曲与摇滚调和的新一代曲风渐渐普遍受到大众的欢迎，在2008年的开端，又一独立厂牌乐团大放异彩，持续这股新兴浪潮推到顶点，NME大胆赞誉「New bands that will define the year!」
　　要将Foals归类是一件很难的事，不能说他们是完全承袭哪一种曲风的乐团，团员表示受极微音乐(Minimal Music)大师Steve Reich、Post-rock/Math-rock乐团Sweep The Leg Johnny影响极深，他们几乎每种风格都全盘接受，也偏爱像贾斯汀、Gwen Stefani等时下流行的歌曲，应该要说他们是个集结以上影响并综合来自四面八方的元素，包含Techno, Rock, Pop, Punk, Experimental等多种不同型态的风格、五位思想离经叛道的青年，造就曲风光怪陆离、难以定位，却又难以抗拒的Foals。
