It's all gone a bit quiet on the Foals front recently - so we thought we'd bring you this of a Thursday afternoon, the new video for standout album track and new single 'Cassius'.

The track, (cover art pictured above), was released digitally on Monday (18 Feb) and gets the physical treatment next month, CD and vinyl formats arriving on the 10th of March.

Those hand-holdable ones will come backed with two new tracks - 'The Chronic' and 'A Song For You' - plus Kieran Hebden's version of the lead song.

Anyway, meat.

Foals - 'Cassius'

...What makes it so awful?

Please outline your argument for it being such.

Many thanks,

I dont like it

purely because of Yannis' performance art moves in every video ive seen of them

Dear Dis:

good job on using this quicktime thingmybob instead of youtube: it's about a million times better and not shit like youtube.

Clearly the best song on the album

And I quite like the video, especially when they're all standing together singing along, but Yannis's attempts at 'quirky' dancing are frankly embarrassing, made it quite uncomfortable viewing.

The best thing about this video

is the debate on the on of the youtube versions as to whether the lyrics are 'Cassius these day dreams OK' or 'Cassius these day dreams are gay'.

it's wrong

but not in an entertaining way. It's wit fails to spark any excitement in me, it feels misguided. Plus the jiggling heart at the start makes me feel embarrased even though it's nothing to do with me.

The dancings great though.

I'd say this is the weakest track

on Antidotes.

Donnie @badmanreturns | 21 Feb '08, 16:58 | X | Reply

this is the standout album track?

I'll save my money, in that case. I miss Foals with Andrew Mears.

what a shitly made really shit pile of shit.

twee_loser | 21 Feb '08, 17:13 | X | Reply

I have to break the trend

and say I loved the video, because it's completely insane.

It's a good choice of single, but far from the best thing on Antidotes.

This song is actually

SO catchy.

BoyNamedTim | 21 Feb '08, 17:32 | X | Reply

horns on single version,

I like them but it I think it takes away some of the intensity of the demo. Do they sound gimmicky?

I like it

Representative of their sound - a clinical white room filled with colour and movement.

Like the Black Flag reference. hehe
