Founder member and bassist Walter Gervers decided to leave, and the process to create a new album involved the band ditching big-name producers and plush studio environments in order to create with minimal interference. With singer/guitarist Yannis Philippakis taking the production helm for the first time, not only was a fifth record created, but so was their sixth - combining to form their most ambitious and socially conscious project to date, a two-part album, 2019’s critically acclaimed ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost’. The raw and intimate ‘Rip Up The Road’ captures a group of friends whose regeneration has led to their most challenging yet creative era yet, as they set sail once more against a relentless schedule. It follows Foals throughout their 2019 World Tour, spanning North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia, as well as the British summer festival season. The result is a documentary that explores the role of bands in our current climate, the extremes of euphoria and isolation linked to touring, and what it takes to retain hunger and inspiration in an often unforgiving industry. Interspersed throughout is vital new footage of the band performing live, mixed by legendary producer Alan Moulder (U2, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Led Zeppelin), who also mixed the Amazon Original Live EP. The documentary is directed by Transgressive Records co-founder and band associate Toby L and edited by Jerry Chater (Radiohead - ‘Meeting People Is Easy’) and Alex Townley. The track-listing for 'Rip Up The Road - Live From Alexandra Palace' is as follows: 1) ‘Black Bull’ 2) ‘Sunday’ 3) ‘My Number’ 4) ‘What Went Down’ The production credits for 'Rip Up The Road' are as follows: Warner Records Presents An Up The Game Production In Association with Q Prime An Amazon Music Original RIP UP THE ROAD Music: Foals / Yannis Philippakis, Jimmy Smith, Edwin Congreave and Jack Bevan Director of Photography: Sebastian Cort 2nd Unit Director: Kit Monteith Editors: Jerry Chater and Alex Townley Live Editor: Simon Lane Live Mixes by Alan Moulder Producer: Josh Connolly Executive Producers: Josh Connolly, Kenny Cavey, Toby L, Tim Dellow and Chris Koegen Directed by Toby L
