Epic Metanoia [7]
Fact, the bands that made my week are all bearded fellows: Foals with the album Total Life Forever, The National with the album High Violet, Portugal the Man with American Ghetto and She and Him with the album Volume II, well him not Zooey.
Everyone knows my quirky liason amoureuse with Zooey so we won’t talk about She and Him. The National, again, they are as old as the iBook so they can wait a little more. I mean, we waited and waited and it looks like is was worth it, their new album High Violet made them the new favorite old band for a lot of people. So will talk about them on a more appropriate time over a cheap glass of awful Shiraz. And Portugal the Man is all over the place with the new iTunes thing.
But, what made my hair fall like pieces of Icelandic ash was the new album from the Oxford band Foals. “Total Life Forever” is like cooking popcorn in a microwave. It starts slow, spinning your soul in a surreal circle until you star smelling sweet sorrow all over you skin and than, BOOM, it pops your brain in a buttery weightless kind of joy. They don’t feature on this weeks playlist because you have to hear the album as a independent entity so go buy it and play it at full blast. Just don’t be tempted to buy the old album because is a big piece of chicken shit.
