foals,

the wee bit pretentious foals have just taken their first leap across to the US, playing a heap of shows stateside this month. today seen the release of their new single "red socks pugie".

it's definitely not as infectious as previous singles "cassius" and "hummer" and doesn't stand out in an album where so many songs sound the same. they do write a catchy tune, even if they're a bit hit-and-miss and even though i don't like them as a band (the prattish lead singer sang facing sideways, not once looking at the crowd when i seen them) i can't help but dance. video for the single, and a couple of their stronger tracks on mp3 below:
