[This is an interview I did with Foals in Bristol with my friend Mark Higgins either late 2007 or early 2008; or perhaps some other time entirely, I don't really remember]
We walked into Foals’ cosy little band room atop the Carling Academy to find the band in what appeared to be a relatively relaxed mood. Yannis Philippakis, the lead singer, is comfortably slumped on a couch with a lead singers best friend, cough medicine, nestled close by his side, and a lead singers worst enemy, marijuana, lodged firmly between his fingers in the form of a joint. Edwin Congreave, who plays keyboards, is having the most fun, drawing in colourful texter on blank record covers of an EP of covers that Foals did with their Canadian tour-mates Holy Fuck. Apparently the proper record covers hadn’t come though in time, “so I’m just making something really disgusting because someone is actually going to buy this.”
