Foals have ridden a tsunami of anticipation in the opening months of 2008, as the build-up to their debut album's release caught the imaginations of the press and public alike. One of the biggest breakthrough stories of the year, their thickly-layered live dance and mathrock crossover is swiftly becoming one of the defining indie sounds to the tail-end of this decade.
Foals first came to Miloco in the summer of 2007 with producer Kieran Hebden and Interface's Mark Rankin to track in The Pool. The album Antidotes was mixed in The Engine Room later in the year by producer Mike Crossey.

Miloco: What project are you doing here at Miloco (e.g. recording, mixing or remixing / single tracks or album) and when's it due to be released?
FOALS: Three 7" alternate versions of singles with Kieran Hebden... released end of year-ish...
Miloco: Which Miloco studio/s are you using and why did you choose it/them?
FOALS: The big garage space (The Pool)... It's great
Miloco: Please describe The Pool in one line:
FOALS: Chillaxed
Miloco: Who was your studio assistant, and how was your studio assistant?
FOALS: Oli - excellent, we have never drank so much tea and coffee before in two days... and ribena.
Miloco: How did the working relationship with Kieran Hebden and Mark Rankin come about, and what do you feel they bring to the project that other producers/engineers wouldn't?
FOALS: Mainly because we're massive fans of Kieran's music projects and we thought he'd be an awesome producer. So our label Transgressive set it up. Kieran's the conductor, we compose / he conducts. No one's done that before with us, it could be love!
Miloco: Draw us a picture!
Foals were speaking to Miloco in May 2007. Antidotes is out now.
