Our Little Ponies

Indie disco refuses to die, and who would want it to? Are we tired of Gossip's 'Standing In The Way Of Control' yet? Not quite. Well, maybe just a bit...

But forget those old lesbians, the most danceable 'band' band on the planet right now are Foals. We saw them play at Old Blue Last last month and they were totally amazing.

Their new single, 'Balloon's is their first 'proper' single, and is being released on 3 December. It will inevitably be sucked down into the bottom reaches of the Top 200 underneath whatever Sugababes and other festive balladeers have planned, but we'd wager it’ll give us all something good to move around to come New Years Eve – as if previous Foals singles 'Hummer' and 'Mathletics' weren't good enough.

Actually, according to the band, they weren't. Neither is going to be included on the Foals album we hear, which is a shame.

Anyway, click the low-quality image we grabbed from the new Foals video to watch the full thing. It's good, although singer Yanniss looks totally terrified of the crow. Perhaps he is worried it will peck his new moustache off...
