Watch What Goes Down in Foals' New Music Video "What Went Down"

New MusicWeston PaganoComment

Earlier today Foals debuted the title track from their upcoming album What Went Down on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show, and now we have a visual to go along with the sound.

Frontman Yannis Philippakis went on air after the song and described it as "animalistic," but went on to say that "there's a little bit of everything" on the new record. "What Went Down" takes the visceral, brutal themes explored on the band's last record Holy Fire and runs with them, as Philippakis chants possessed, altering between distrust and affection.

Directed by Niall O’Brien, the music video isn't quite as explosive as "Inhaler" or as jarring as "Late Nite," but fits restlessly in the middle hinting at what will surely be one of this year's most compelling records.
