Foals, Here We Go Magic, Royal Bangs (Plus FlyLo)

Foals :: Spanish Sahara

"Spanish Sahara"  is off of Oxford-quintuplet Foals' sophomore album Total Life Forever, which is due out May 5th.  I love how although it for the most part is a very simple song, the vocals really connect and the turn of of the rhyme (I think that is what is called) is impeccable in the British accent: Sahara, Wanna, Horror.  The lyrics really feel like they have some impact.  Can't wait for the album!

Here We Go Magic :: Old World United
Check out the new track from some of my favorite lo-fi/folky-ish bands from last year.  Just like the other track I posted from this album (Pigeons, Due out in June on Secretly Canadian) a while ago, and which will also be below again, it's a lot more upbeat and synthy than their previous album.

Royal Bangs :: War Bells
This songs got Sleigh Bells' style of guitar/drums and TV on the Radio vocals.  That's pretty much how I would sum it up.  I like this song, but I think it is the type of song I will completely forget about in two weeks.  Thought I'd share it anyways...  The second track is a little different and better.  This stuff isn't exactly new, but I just came across it so I'd figure I'd share it.
