Foals Hummer

“Hummer“ is the second single by Foals, and is the first single with Yannis Philippakis on lead vocals (previous lead vocalist was Andrew Mears). It was recorded and mixed by producer Gareth Parton at The Fortress and Metropolis recording studios, London. It was released as a digital download and on vinyl on April 23, 2007. In an 8/10 review, Drowned In Sound described the track as sounding “like Animal Collective rifling through The Rapture’s audio files on electro night“.[1] It came 12th in a top tracks of 2007 list compiled by NME.[2] In October 2011, NME placed it at number 141 on its list “150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years“.[3] Although initially released as a non-album single, it was added as a bonus track to later editions of Foals’ debut album Antidotes. The song was featured in the first series of Skins.
