I’ve always been a sucker for the Bloc Party/Minus The Bear connection of Foals.  The super-groovers have just released a new single for their upcoming album, Total Life Forever, to be released on May 10th.

“Spanish Sahara” is a bit more moody and mellow than anything they’ve put out in the past, but it’s a nice departure.  Foals leans more on their Minus The Bear atmospheric qualities than they do the dancefloor panic side of Bloc Party.  “Spanish Sahara” takes a few moments to acclimate yourself to, but once you do, it’s a beautiful thing.
