_Foals – Spanish Sahara

I haven’t heard from Foals for a while. They seem to have disappeared to me ever since the release of their 2008 release, ‘Antidotes’. Even that LP has seemed to have vanished from my iTunes mysterically.

“Spanish Sahara” is the first to be released from their sophomore album, ‘Total Life Forever’ planned for a May 10th release. Recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden, this is the promo single for the LP. “Spanish Sahara” is a chilling, haunting song that sits just around 7 minutes without getting annoying, and in fact, you just want more. The electronic noise loop that occurs throughout the whole song just dances its way through your head, hypnotizing you.

The buildup 4 minutes in has got to be one of the most orgasmic build-ups ever. Yes – this song is just a 7 minute orgasm for the ears – which is why I was shocked that this is the promo single. And if this is just a promo, I wonder what the actual single will sound like? I CANNOT wait!
