New Foals song that was released yesterday and is incredibly fantastic. Model demonstration of a band and how they should mature musically. Unlike their previous material, 'Spanish Sahara' is more downbeat as well as simplistic, but more importantly has very little techno elements, a signature aspect of Foals's songs. A friend of mine, Wes, pointed out how in the background you can hear a similar noise which is heard in Bloc Party's Ion Square, of whom Foals's have said to be the teeny-boppy version of which with more dance and math rock influences. Either way, 'Spanish Sahara' will give you chills, nostalgia, fear, joy, and make you ponder. It is a master of atmosphere and of building up. A simple masterpiece and a much needed improvement in Yannis's lyrics and vocals.
