Foals – What Went Down 10th Anniversary edition colour vinyl

Vinyl  LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, Coke Clear Green / Black Smoke Marbled,10th Anniversary

Foals celebrate ten years of their acclaimed fourth studio album What Went Down. Originally released in 2015, the record marked a bold shift in scale and intensity, capturing the Oxford band at their heaviest while retaining the intricate detail that had always set them apart. Produced by James Ford, it delivered a set of songs that combined visceral power with moments of vulnerability and grandeur.

The opening title track remains one of their most ferocious statements, a towering wall of riffs and raw emotion. Singles such as ‘Mountain At My Gates’ pushed their widescreen ambition further, pairing driving rhythms with melodies built for festival fields, while tracks like ‘Give It All’ and ‘A Knife In The Ocean’ revealed a darker, more reflective edge. The result was an album that cemented their status as one of Britain’s most vital bands of the era.

A decade later, What Went Down stands as both a milestone in Foals’ career and a defining statement of mid-2010s alternative rock.
