Foals

Musical Group

Foals are an English indie/math-rock band formed in Oxford; frontman Yannis Philippakis leads the group known for rhythmic guitar work and evolving sonic styles.

Antidotes reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart. Bassist Walter Gervers left the band in January 2018 (mentioned in DeBaser reviews). James Ford produced What Went Down (as noted in DeBaser reviews).

DeBaser reviews trace Foals' evolution from math-rock beginnings (Antidotes) through atmospheric experimentation (Total Life Forever) to a more direct, arena-ready sound (What Went Down; Everything Not Saved...). Critics praise technical ambition, strong songwriting, and successful stylistic growth. Overall reception across these reviews is favorable.
