Foals take a fresh, thrilling new direction on 'Life Is Yours' - the follow-up to the triumphant, two-part ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost’, which proved to be a pivotal pinnacle in the band's story.
'Life Is Yours' feels like a natural evolution for Foals, its disco-tinged guitars, tight syncopated rhythms and punchy, insistent hooks echoing their roots as purveyors of rambunctious house party chaos. Thematically, it's escapist, transportive and in rapture at life's endless possibilities. It's a record that's perfectly in tune with the prevailing atmosphere of this moment in time – a life-affirming celebration as the world is reunited.
'Life Is Yours' immediately establishes its tone with the bright beam of optimism provided by its title track, its ambience and exuberance showing no sign of slowing down. Foals started the project within the dark, windowless confines of their south London rehearsal space in the midst of a winter lockdown. Feeling contained and tethered, they were drawn towards spirited sounds that looked to a brighter future, not only in terms of climate but also in terms of the unreplicable thrill of performing live. By the time the process reached its conclusion, the verdant summer surroundings of Real World Studios near Bath matched the album's ardent atmosphere.
The band also experimented with collaborating with a tapestry of different producers (often working within different configurations) on various tracks. The album's varied creative voices include John Hill (Portugal The Man, Florence + The Machine), Dan Carey (Tame Impala, Fontaines D.C.), Miles James and A.K. Paul (co-founder of the Paul Institute with his brother Jai Paul). Much of the album was subsequently mixed by ten-time Grammy Award winner Manny Marroquin (Post Malone, Kanye West, Rihanna), with several tracks mixed by another multiple Grammy Award winner in the shape of Mark 'Spike' Stent (Coldplay, Muse, Kings of Leon).
