The next Foals album will be "heavier" and full of "big riffs"

Having released Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1 back in March, Foals are edging closer to the release of their second album of 2019.

Speaking to NME at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Middlesborough, Foals' Yannis Philippakis said, "It’s heavier. The guitars are at the front [and] there’s more guitars."

Philippakis added, "There’s a 10-minute awesome space jam – like a Stanley Kubrick prog epic – and then there’s just some big riffs all over the record. It’s quite different from the first part, which we felt was more dance-y and more new wave...It’s more of a rock record with a capital "R" – maybe two "R’s."

Over the weekend Philippakis shared some draft lyrics for their "Exits" single, and wrote, "Will share more of the cooking from the kitchen as we go on."
