Yesterday, the big list of Record Store Day releases came out for April 16th and while there is an element of shark-jumping (Alan Partridge doing Knowing Me, Knowing You on picture disc anyone?), Foals are one of the names which stand out.
Their 7″ release will feature a cover of Mark Ronson & Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker brilliant ‘Daffodils’, which the band have covered live.
On the A-side, is ‘Rain’, a track where the band showcase their brittle and subdued side.
