The debut studio album by British indie rock band Foals, originally released in 2008. Antidotes is the debut from Foals. Completing the circuit between the minimalism of American composer Steve Reich, guitars that sound like insects, and tennis player Andy Roddick, theirs is a uniquely winning formula. Driving percussion high in the mix, guitars played above the 12th fret, no chords, and splashes of synthesizer colour all come together like the schematics for a piece of precision engineering. Features hit singles "Balloons", "Cassius", "Red Socks Pugie" and "Olympic Airways". This new, single-run pressing is manufactured using recycled vinyl records – a process that means that all copies will share a mottled, marbled effect, but that also means that each individual record is unique.
