Antidotes (2008, Sub Pop) Foals' first studio album. ****Foals has a unique brand of electronica rock; it's got a whole Franz Ferdinand feel to it, especially on tracks like "Cassius." It has the marching quality that FF has down to a tee, yet it's light years ahead of anything they've done. The entire album sounds a bit similar, variably switching between fast jabbing songs and slow, almost space-like sounding tunes. That's not a bad thing, though, as they don't drag the album out too long for it to get annoyingly repetitive like the Black Angels. A fun album and a great debut.
