Release Notes:
foals release new single 'red socks pugie' through
transgressive records.
the single is taken from their debut album
'antidotes' released earlier this year, it was
recorded in 2007 by david sitek, luminary producer
and longstanding member of tv on the radio.
'red socks pugie' is a complex arrangement
unspoiled by lyrics about the rush of blood through
vessels between two people.
the images of wasp nests and terminals evoke
starkness and a dearth of emotion in contrast to
the fevered excitement of falling in love. and
then, says yannis, 'everything is set on fire'.
the lyrics gain more poignancy as yannis repeats
them over and over again over the ever increasing
layering of the band's twitchy guitars and restless
bassline, until the track crescendos into a rush so
huge it's impossible not to feel the hairs stand up
on the back of the neck.
limited 7" one comes backed with exclusive b-side
'gold gold gold'.
