" Look past the unrelenting hype and pull Foals&amp;#039;s music into focus and the Oxford rockers are still difficult to pin down. Sonically they have no glaringly obvious indie/dance genre predecessors and their contemporaries (Bloc Party, Klaxons) don&amp;#039;t quite cross over into their musical space. Foals almost sound like they don&amp;#039;t belong in the present - they&amp;#039;re a group 15 minutes from the future, at home on the next generation of iPod. New single &amp;#039;Red Socks Pugie&amp;#039; has pulsing electronic note sequences, clanking kettledrums and - something they&amp;#039;ve picked up from listening to minimalist composer Steve Reich - an appreciation of timing and space between different sounds. This track is less frenzied, more laid back than catchy last single &amp;#039;Cassius&amp;#039;, with a mellow verse holding things back before they take off on the chorus. &amp;#039;Red Socks Pugie&amp;#039; is further indication that Foals are incredibly talented musicians in need of a producer to marshal their intricate and unique sound (the five-minute album version had to be chopped for the single release). As with their previous releases don&amp;#039;t expect any degree of lyrical comprehension. Wasps&amp;#039; nests, vessels, terminals and swelling hearts - what&amp;#039;s it all about lads?  &amp;gt; Click here for our review of Foals&amp;#039; album "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
