This December sees the first release - “Balloons” - from hotly tipped Oxford combo Foals. The band, signed to ultra hip indie powerhouse Transgressive, have blazed a trail across Britain and are well known for playing intimate gigs at house parties.

In a logical pairing the band have linked up with one of the most thinking producers around in David Sitek – best known for work with Yeah Yeah Yeahs – to record “Balloons”. He was no doubt stretched to the limit dealing with the band's mix of techno, punk and indie.
