Foals are playing an album launch show at House of Vans next week.
Taking to the stage on Friday October 18, the boys have announced the show to celebrate the release of their new album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2. Swapping headliner slots and huge arena shows for a lowly 850-capacity venue, it’s bound to be a pretty spectacular inauguration.
Want in on the launch party? Sign up to the ballot here and keep your fingers crossed for a ticket. (And yes, they’re free.)

And as if that wasn’t enough, just yesterday (October 7) the band released a video for ‘Into The Surf’, which features on Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2. The music video was directed by Steve Warne, whose animation has previously featured in Tim Burton and Wes Anderson movies. You can watch it here:
