Release Date: March 24 2008
Label: Transgressive
Rating: (9)
From the pulsating and heavily syncopated rhythm section to the bleeps and squeaks of the way-up-the-neck guitar lines that fit into the mix with an almost machine-made quality, Foals are, in simple terms, a rock band that make organically produced dance music. But while such a seemingly rigid approach to music could easily render this, the band’s highly anticipated debut record, benign and lifeless, it is Foals’ acute understanding of melody that provides the glue that binds all the intricately structured ideas together. From ‘The French Open’ to ‘Cassius’, ‘Balloons’ and album highlight ‘Red Sox Pugie’, there is no doubt, ‘Antidotes’ is an ingeniously disguised yet unashamedly proud pop record.
