What a tease.
Foals debuted two new songs from their upcoming album ‘What Went Down’ back in July, but now fans of the band can listen to snippets of every song from the LP.
The Oxford lads have uploaded about a minute’s worth of each song to YouTube in one 11-minute video. Song titles appears alongside each track and the listener has the opportunity to click through each sample.
This is an interesting and innovative move by the band. ‘What Went Down’ will be their fifth album, and letting fans hear a quarter of the whole thing prior to its release is an unusual marketing move. The album is already in iTunes’ top-ten for pre-orders, so it’s fair to say they’re doing something right.
As for how it sounds? See for yourself.
They’ve certainly come a long way since ‘Cassius’.
‘What Went Down’ will be released on August 28.
