Holy Fire is the third album in four years from productive British indie-rock group, Foals, and it's a departure.
They signed up the producers behind Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nail's classic albums (Flood and Allen Moulder) but they haven't suffocated the Oxford originating group with their past success, instead choosing to hole Yannis and co up in a North London studio and take whichever recording sounded best, even if the band were treating them as rough run-throughs
That's not the only difference with Foal's third album-they've stopped aching after well-respected indie radio hits and trying to fill fashionably substandard venues with vibrating youths and have instead, respectably, made the album they wanted.
That said, the band have found that elusive balance of holding onto their unique 'Foals' sound while satisfying all their creative whims with an eclectic mix of tracks.
