A new thing on Transgressive by Foals. It's a 7" called Hummer and apparently these are the next big thing so I'm told. These are well widdly and twiddly....and a bit all over the place. It's shouty, catchy, jerky, spiky and rammed with energy. Just when I thought I was absolutely chuffed off a lot of indie music this comes along like a bullet train and all the passengers have cans of red bull laced with speed. I went to see these with Maggie at a Transgressive roadshow sometime back and we both thought they were ace. They don't really sound like anything else. There's hints of Forward Russia in Hummer I suppose.... The energy and enthusiasm really swings it for me though. A cracking single.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
