Cute, cute, cute UK indie dance — they call it “Oxford step” — band Foals has captured my heart and ears the last few weeks with their giddy, insectoid, high-fret guitar hooks, their way-too-catchy angst, and their Frisco Disco-ready looks. Too bad they haven’t captured my iPod — their tunes are UK-only at the moment (though you can download several here), but latest single “Balloons” is being released early next month, and once they score the Mercury Prize next year an American tour and album surely must be in the works for these Transgressive Records-stabled hotties. Plus they blew away the CMJ this year, so there. Foals on the floor!
