On their fifth full-length the acclaimed Oxford-based rock band starts a new chapter in their successful career. More than ever this chapter is directly inspired by the world they live in but despite all the fascination for doom and gloom there's also a hopeful note about it. Time for a talk with band leader Yannis Philippakis about the whole misery.
We're living in the middle of a life-threatening environmental crisis and despite an increased understanding in the minds of many people there’s still not enough action that is taken to actively turn the wheel around.

Music Declares Emergency wants to change that and here NBHAP Norman Fleischer explains why he actively decided to support the organization a few months ago.

Dive into these LP diamonds right here.
Swedish pop siblings Elektra and Miranda Kilbey aka SAY LOU LOU present an interesting remix for their recent single Everything We Touch. None other than Yannis Philippakis, frontman of British math rockers FOALS, got his hands on the track. The original is expected to be on the duo’s highly anticipated debut album which arrives later this year. It’s also one of the records we’re looking most forward to in 2014. Mr. Philippakis gave the SAY LOU LOU tune a surprisingly grooving disco approach which you can witness right here.
