An outdoor setting seems to be the antithesis of Foals bouncy post-punk: most of their songs move along at a machine-like precision and sound so brittle that they’d fall apart during a stiff breeze.
But here’s the video for “Olympic Airways” from the band’s spotty Sub Pop debut Antidotes, a video that finds the band in Survivor mode on an island that, despite being covered in trash, has their instruments and a sound system.
Antidotes is out now. [Stereogum]
