Description: In 2016, Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a two-day session working with the great drummer Tony Allen, who he admired intensely for his influential, multi-genre work with the likes of Fela Kuti, Sébastien Tellier and Jeff Mills. Heading into a smoke-filled, ’70s throwback studio in Paris, Yannis had expected them to make a nostalgic afrobeat record. Yet something very different emerged. As the pair quickly established an intuitive telepathy, the music germinated from jams and loops, its varied touchpoints – rock, funk, jazz, dub and more – were complemented by a unique atmosphere of two cultures and creatives colliding, their expression liberated by making music in and for the moment itself.
