Not Everything Saved Will Be Lost Part 2

Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 2 completes the artistic statement and striking state-of-the-world-address of Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1.

Part 2, like Part 1, was produced by Foals themselves: Yannis Philippakis (vocals/guitar), Jimmy Smith (guitar), Jack Bevan (drums) and Edwin Congreave (keys).

"Part two is a heavier listen, the guitars are more emphasized and there's some big riffs on it," explains lead singer and guitarist Yannis Philippakis in an interview with NME. "It's a rock record and it definitely carries on the narrative from part one. Part one ended with a lot of fire and destructive imagery, part two is trying to respond to that: how you can continue in the wreckage and through the scorched earth? We're just excited for people to hear it because it completes the journey of what we've made over the last year-and-a-half."

Collectively, Every Not Saved Will Be Lost is symbolic of Foals' trajectory so far. From playing chaotic house parties in their home city of Oxford to becoming major festival headliners across Europe, they've earned critical acclaim (NME and Q Award wins, plus Mercury Prize, Ivor Novello and BRIT Award nominations) and fan devotion in equal measure.
