Foals release second thrilling single – listen here

Foals have released another slice of visceral rock to prove they're back with a bang.

It seems the Oxford band should decamp to the South of France more often - as new track Mountain At My Gates was born from a big boozy session there. Frontman Yannis Philippakis said: "Normally I write voraciously in books and journals, then harvest a lot of that for the record. This, though, came instantaneously in the room." They made a huge statement with first enormous title single What Went Down, and whilst Mountain At My Gates is slightly more down-tempo, it could easily become another arena-filling epic. Judge for yourself... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QHZ2YRPFVo&feature=youtu.be What Went Down is out August 28, pre-order at www.foals.co.uk/splash/preorder
