Foals Announce New Album 'What Went Down,' Release Teaser

Music NewsWeston PaganoComment

If the teaser is any indication, Oxfordshire rockers Foals have not become complacent after the success of their last LP, 2013's Holy Fire, announcing today the news of their fourth record What Went Down which will be released via Warner Music this August 28th.

The album was recorded in France with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Florence + the Machine) while the band "drank about 130 bottles of red wine," resulting in a "heavier, poppier, weirder" sound influenced by Nick Cave, according to NME.

The title track will debut on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show this Tuesday, June 16 at 19:30 BST, the same day on which What Went Down will become available for preorder.
