Foals – Red Socks Pugie
The latest single from Foals’ massive album “Antidotes” will sell them even more records and will end up on a few best song of the year lists. The drum into for the song will immediately grab your attention and you just don’t hear a song started with that loud beat that sounds like it is popping in your ears. There are a few elements in the song that can be traced back to Battles’ album “Mirrors” but the band do things right and give the sound their own touch. The vocals are focused and intense. The song never has a dull moment in its five minute length and it is the type of track that you can hear over and over again. There are not many tracks that impress me but there is something about the drums in this track that just get pounded into your head.
