Foals - Spanish Sahara new song & video @ www.foals.co.uk


Starts out so soft and gentle that, on first listen, I couldn't believe it was Yannis singing, let alone a new foals record. The song builds and builds, with the recognisable foals-style enhancing it, but in a new and understated manner. Visually, the video is amazing. I'm not sure how to describe it so I'll let it speak for itself... but its good to see another Foals video that involves meat. 3/4s of the way through the song, we reach the summit and its as stunning and poignant as the beginning. A single tear down Yannis's cheek as he sings 'I'm a ghost in the back of your head' is the perfect audio-visual representation of what this song is. Beautiful.

P.S. the moving ice-water scenes in the video (also amazing) I'm sure I saw similar scenes in a recent movie/tv-show/advert/somewhere recently, anybody know where I might of seen it?? its bugging me big-time.
