Album Notes & Community Reviews

Foals mature from the frantic math-rock of their debut into a more expansive, atmospheric sound. 'Total Life Forever' is built on funk grooves, spacious guitars, and Yannis Philippakis's emotional vocals. It is a blue-hued, aquatic record that deals with themes of futurity and anxiety.
