Crack live take on 'Antidotes' classic by road-hardened Foals.
Foals seem to have spent the best part of a year on the road and it shows in the extra muscularity and control they have over their sound. I witnessed this - from outside a packed tent - at the Pulp Wireless 'festival' at the start of July.
You can hear their development in the way they approach both new and old material in their Coachella set from April. Old songs are given fresh impetus with adaptations and new songs are subtly extemporised. The Coachella live set is well worth tracking down.
This version of 'Olympic Airways' is both as tight and as funky as its ever been but the intro and instrumental break are approached anew, offering new angles and freshness.
