The follow-up to 2015's What Went Down, will be released in two instalments: Part 1 will be out on 8 March via Transgressive/Warner Bros. Records, and Part 2 will arrive this fall.
About the record, the band posted: “We couldn’t be more excited for you to hear all the work we’ve poured ourselves into over the past 18 months. The albums which will be coming out are two halves of the same locket. They can be listened to and appreciated individually, but fundamentally, they are companion pieces.
“Musically, we pushed ourselves to the furthest limit. Lyrically, the songs resonate with what’s going on in the world at the moment. These songs are white flags, or mirrors, or attempts to work through the confusing times we live in… each in a different way.
Speaking about ‘Exits’, Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis said, “There’s a definite idea about the world being no longer habitable in the way that it was. A kind of perilousness lack of predictability and a feeling of being overwhelmed by the magnitudes of the problems we face. What’s the response? And what’s the purpose of any response that one individual can have?”
The band have also aired an Albert Moya-directed video for their new single "Exits", starring Christa Théret (Renoir) and Isaac Hempstead Wright (“Game of Thrones”)
