Foals

Olympic Airways (Video)

Average Rating: 8.00

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.

I know that the album got mixed reviews and the band themselves seemed a bit disappointed in it, but I think the album is solid and their live show is a lot of fun.
