Foals w/ Freelance Whales and The Naked and Famous

British indie-rockers Foals haven't made nearly as much of an impression stateside as they have in their native land, where the typically overzealous British music press gave them the red-carpet treatment even before they released their 2008 debut album, Antidotes. On their 2010 sophomore album, Total Life Forever, Foals prove themselves one of the rare British buzz bands that really deserves a larger American audience. It's a savvy record, building on the syncopated, half-danceable post-punk of their debut with moodier atmospherics and sharper songs that unfold at a deliberate pace.
