Foals perform “Mountains At My Gates” on Colbert

During the recording process of Foals’ latest album, What Went Down, singer Yannis Philippakis said he had channeled his “inner madman.” Philippakis’s feeling of chaos can be heard on the new LP as well in the live show.

The English band’s performance on Colbert last night showed this immensely. Foals gave a passionate performance of their single, “Mountains At My Gate.” Watch the replay below.
