Foals are back again with a new video for, 'Blue Blood', the lead track off Total Life Forever. Total Life Forever is starting to look like possibly the only real challenger alongside Arcade Fire - The Suburbs, for best album of 2010. I don't think there are many other contenders out there and some would say it deserved The Mercury Music Prize, above The xx.

Either way, Foals aren't really in need of that kind of recognition as they will continue to keep churning out music, from the catchiest feel good tracks to the most undeniably moving, atmospheric tracks. Foals have variety, they proved that with what they brought to the table with Total Life Forever and it should be commended. Hopefully the next LP will be another pleasant surprise, just like the one it will precede. Here's the video for 'Blue Blood'.

Last week we brought you the epic list of newcomers from this year, missing a few I'm sure but you can't please everyone. You also don't want to be doing ridiculous lists such as, 'The Top 100' sending everyone to sleep by the time they get to 50.

This week is the turn of 'Best Tracks'... no set figure... no ranking... just literally the best of the best this year.

It's that time again, we're on the stroke of summer and there's a whole new batch of brilliant anticipated albums on the verge of release. We spend a lot of time rattling on about the quality of specific track releases and a lot of those bands and musicians don't even make it to the point of releasing an album. So in honour of all those with the ability, luck and determination to get there - these anticipated posts are for you. Yes, some of the releases are through major labels, offshoots, subsidiaries, blah blah blah lets be clear - these albums are here on our merit, nothing else.

Oxford trio 'Trophy Wife' are somewhat of a favourite amongst team 1FTP. If you've been following us for a while then you'll know how much we rate these guys. They're overall musical vibe is an infectious blend of melodic, prog indie disco which has got us all hooked and we've only heard three tracks. And, as if our word isn't enough, they're also Yannis Philipakkis' (Foals) current listening choice.

We're now one third of the way into 2014 and its new music is proving to be head and shoulders stronger than 2013.

one-for-the-people-month-in-review-april-2014


April has probably been the patchiest month of the year so far. We've had strong contenders for single of the month and all from relative newcomers, not so much competition for album of the month and newcomers were fairly thin on the ground too. That aside, we've developed a renewed vigour for the site and found time for some interviews and features. But enough of that, let's get to it..
