Tape Notes TN:97 Foals
5 snips
Jun 21, 2022 Foals unpack the making of *Life Is Yours*, from a synth arpeggio that sparked “Wild Green” to loose, hour-long jams that kept the songs alive. They explore adapting their process as a trio, shaping grooves with different producers, and using fewer effects so each track could find its own textures. Plus: Leslie-speaker vocals, studio experiments, and discarded ideas sneaking back into live shows.
