What Went Down, the fourth Foals album, arrived on 28 August 2015, and it arrives with its fists up. Yannis Philippakis, the Oxford band's frontman, called it their loudest and heaviest record so far, and the title track backs him up, all churning riffs and a vocal that sounds ready to tear the room apart. James Ford, a producer with Simian Mobile Disco, Arctic Monkeys and the Last Shadow Puppets on his résumé, gives the racket real weight.
It isn't all bruises, though. "Mountain At My Gates" surges and swells like the work of a band that has played Glastonbury and Coachella and knows exactly how to get a big field singing along.
