Foals: "Our album was flawed"

Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis has confessed that he thinks the band's debut album Antidotes was "flawed".

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Philippakis stated that the group is eager to return to the studio to record a stronger sophomore LP.

He said: "We don't feel like Antidotes was an insurmountable record, by any means. To us, it sounds flawed. We just wanna make a different record.

"I think [the next album] will be better because we're older and we understand a lot more about music. I think it's gonna have bigger contrasts in it than the first record, and we've been messing around with a lot of ambience and echoes and I think we wanna make something that's a bit lusher."

Philippakis also revealed that Antidotes producer Dave Sitek will not return to steer the second album. "I don't think we really want to repeat working procedures, we don't really feel like we've found the one person to work with," he said.
