I'm packing and moving house right now, so excuse the mess. You know what makes good moving/work music? This chilled out remix of Foals' "Olympic Airways"!

Ah, I like this B-side a lot. It doesn't just make a beeline for a dance beat - it kinda takes its time getting into a syncopated groove. Boys, keep this side of your songwriting up and they'll be less detractors who fight about whether your band is math rock or not!

Foals are a new band from Oxford, England. Given their tight dance beats and intricate guitar lines, comparisons to Bloc Party will be inevitable. However, if you look past the obvious and dig a little deeper, you'll find math rock influences and bits of The Cure and The Clash as well. Also of note is that there's a Travis Bean aluminum neck guitar in the band, as favored by the likes of Shellac, The Arcade Fire, and Sir Salvatore for its distinctive sound. Check out "Balloons" and get dancing (math-ily)!
