Our Take

FOALS' debut album, Antidotes, is a delightful romp through a sonic playground filled with angular guitars, infectious rhythms, and quirky lyrics. From the moment the opening track "The French Open" kicks in with its frenetic energy, it's clear that this band means business.

Each song on Antidotes is like a mini adventure, taking the listener on a wild ride through a maze of intricate melodies and unpredictable twists and turns. Tracks like "Cassius" and "Balloons" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend math rock precision with danceable grooves, creating a sound that is both compelling and utterly unique.

Frontman Yannis Philippakis' distinctive vocals add an extra layer of charm to the album, with his playful delivery and cryptic lyrics keeping listeners on their toes. His angular guitar riffs interweave perfectly with the propulsive rhythms laid down by his bandmates, creating a sound that is equal parts cerebral and danceable.

Overall, Antidotes is a masterclass in indie rock innovation, with FOALS proving themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the music world. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be taken on a musical journey like no other - you won't be disappointed. FOALS have truly delivered a knockout debut with Antidotes.
