Foals announce name of new album

Foals have revealed the name of their new album and promised fans there will be more live show dates.

The third album is called Holy Fire, but no track listing is available yet.

The Oxford-based group's last album, Mercury nominated, Total Life Forever, was in 2010 but earlier this year they released their first mix tape LP called Tapes.

The five-piece have been away from live shows for a while.

But will be on a "mini" UK tour in November and December.

Backing vocalist and keyboard player Edwin Congreave has thanked fans.

He said: "Thanks to everyone who bought tickets for our mini tour this winter.

"It is only a tease, and for us to get back 'into it'. So don't stress if you missed out, or if we weren't coming near to your home.

"There will be many, many more shows coming up," the keyboardist added.
