With a title like S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT, I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when I picked up the new album from Akron/Family. Although it is the band's fifth studio album, it was my first introduction to their music. Now, returning to the matter after a couple listens, I think it is a perfect title for their record. Its kind of out there, capturing their experimental, psychedelic rock sound, with a nomadic, earthy quality, sharing their folk-esque, landscaped tunes.
Notable Tracks:
1. "Silly Bears"
2. "Island"
4. "So It Goes"
5. "Another Sky"
6. "Light Emerges"

In Concert: Foals @ The Beaumont Club
If you want to let loose, jump, and dance around, Foals is a must see concert. With a killer thumping bass, the band just kept grooving throughout the night, creating an all out party atmosphere. They have an intense English dance-punk vibe that gets even more pronounced on the live stage from feeding off the crowd. To show they aren't just all fun and fluff, Foals performed some of their more momentous and personal songs "Spanish Sahara" and "Blue Blood," which really showcased the band's restraint and the power in lead singer Yannis' voice. Then it was back to a fun mix of upbeat songs featured from both their Antidotes and Total Life Forever albums.
