Ending their largest UK show to date a week before the release of their album seems like a recipe for disaster. Although some of the as yet unreleased album songs met a slightly cooler reception than fan favourites and live staples “Hummer” and “Balloons”, Foals show that they are truly in their element when they play live. The addition of the “horn section of death” to The French Open and Cassius left no doubt in my mind that the whole gig was going to incredible, and my expectations were met.
Highlights included the instrumental outro of “Heavy Water” and the math-rock riffage of “Two Steps Twice”, which succeeded in making every member of the Astoria clap along before breaking into frenzied dance...but NOT in a nu-rave way of course!
