Foals – Exits (New Song)
Foals share a new song titled Exits. It arrives with a surreal Albert Moya-directed video starring Christa Théret (Renoir) and Isaac Hempstead Wright (“Game of Thrones”).
Like ‘Inhaler’ and ‘What Went Down’ before it, ‘Exits’ signals Foals return with bluster. A short, sharp burst of stabbed synthesizer, it’s an attention-grabbing entrance that Foals have mastered. Quickly, though, ‘Exits’ drops away, dipping into a ballroom dance of noodling guitar and space-age electronics, each twisting around the other.
It’s a bridge between Foals’ dual identities – the complexity of ‘Total Life Forever’ channelled through the huge production of ‘Holy Fire’ and ‘What Went Down’ – only this time it was Yannis himself that was behind the desk.
