The new Foals video has appeared online at Pitchfork.tv.

'Red Socks Pugie' has seemed pretty nailed on for release as a single ever since we heard the track on an advance album sampler last autumn. Perhaps the track on Antidotes that comes closest to realising the band's cold pop vision, its minutes nonetheless unfold in familiar swarms of polystrung guitars and Jack Bevan's lilting, flirty drums, the whole lurching thing accompanied here by artful profile shots and just huge, fuck-off explosions.

It's really good - see for yourself below. It's out on the 26th May.

Video: Foals - 'Red Socks Pugie'

Foals have recently been confirmed to play both Radio 1's Big Weekend and Field Day and announced their own October headlining tour.

What sort of newt is that?

Isn't there a law against disturbing them? Good job they were filming a video and not building a bypass.

Sorry but this is shit

I love Foals but this is the laziest video ever. The nuclear bomb montage has been done ad nauseum and often better than this (check out some of the fan-made Godspeed - Moya videos on YouTube). Not only is it a lazy concept but it's completely misjudged for this song. If this is their regular video guy who made this then I'm shocked, and if it's the record label then I'm disappointed. I know a lot of people hated their previous videos but at least they're a bit original and quirky, this is very uninspired.

And what's the bit at the start

with the lake all about? It then moves onto the circulatory system and nuclear bombs without ever coming back to them by the lake. Seems a bit pointless.
