Tribute to #BobDylan’s birthday; almost closed with Joan Baez’s #DiamondsandRust because it’s a quintessentially haunting and Dylan-slapping masterpiece, but instead it precedes #ItAintMeBabe because that’s infuriatingly funny.

I want to listen to this while cooking, staring out the windows into a summer afternoon, and sipping on chilled, dry rosé from Provence.

Holy Fire

Foals have released an album that cohesively weaves bold and subtle instrumentation and tempo in a way that just feels natural and impressive. I’m officially deeply into their shit. 

Here are the one-liner impressions by track, if you’re into the whole brevity thing: 

01. Prelude: No words necessary, I’m mildly riled…

02. Inhaler: Whoa, heavy metal distortion dabbling… Where is this album going?! Killer fade out. 

03. My Number: INSTANT GROOVE; SOLD! The tempo is the precise proper pace of a good city walk en route to take the edge off.

04. Bad Habit: Edge off. Energy of “My Number” sustained, now seguing into dreaminess. 

05. Everytime: Everytime I hear you, I want to sail away… 

06. Late Night: Officially want to bone this song, personified. Thanks for the rhythmic jammy finish.

07. Out Of The Woods: After the late night, out of the woods… who knew you could feel better?

08. Milk & Black Spiders: I like this song better than milk and black spiders… ‘cause “I’ve been around two times and found that you’re the only thing I need.”

09. Providence: Intro reminiscent of The Who’s Quadrophenia for reasons unknown? This is just a grind out experimental symphony; I don’t need it - but I’ll take it.

10. Stepson: Melancholic, illusive and industrial. I feel like I need to be held. 

11. Moon: I get why this both cliff hangs us on a band, and positively seals us up an album.
