Holy Fire, the third album from Oxford's Foals, arrived on Transgressive Records on 11 February 2013, and it's the record where the band let the muscle in. Flood and Alan Moulder produced it, and between them they give those twitchy, interlocking guitars a heavier floor and a lot more room to roar, work that won the pair UK Producer of the Year.
"Inhaler" got its first airing on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show in November 2012, a slow coil that finally snaps into a riff like a wrecking ball, and "My Number" followed on Later... with Jools Holland, all bright-eyed, loose-hipped swagger. The album went to number two in the UK, topped the chart in Australia, drew warm reviews and picked up a Mercury Prize nomination in 2013.
