Yannis Philippakis, il frontman dei Foals ha raccontato qualcosa di più sulla lavorazione del quinto album della band.
Ospite dell’Università di Oxford per la Union Talk, Yannis ha rivelato che la band è già al lavoro:
We’ve just started writing the new record, we’ve taken a year out – we needed it. We’d been on tour for a long time. It was fun, but sometimes the more fun a tour is, the more of a toll it takes on you. Me and Jimmy have come up with some sketches and some early ideas. We’re actually writing on the road at the moment.
Ci saranno delle novità, una maggiore sperimentazione:
I think we will experiment. I feel excited about that. The last two [Holy Fire, What Went Down], they’re like buddies. What we need to do is go through some sort of violent change and make sure, whatever the next record is, it’s not friends with the last two… We’ve built a wide palette that we can draw from. It would be a shame not to keep pushing that. It’s evolution vs. extinction.
In più, i testi del nuovo album potrebbero essere influenzati fortemente dall’attualità:
Certain events that have happened here and in America, and generally the global climate might feature at some point. It makes me feel really bad to be a 21st Century human. I think, in some ways, that might emanate in the record.
Noi vi aspettiamo.
