Foals formed in Oxford in 2005. Wikipedia lists indie rock, math rock, post-punk revival and alternative rock; their labels are Transgressive, Sub Pop in North America and Warner. The founder Andrew Mears, frontman of Youthmovies, sang and played guitar in 2005 and 2006 and appeared on the debut 7-inch "Try This on Your Piano" with "Look at My Furrows of Worry".

Holy Fire came out on February 11, 2013 in the UK on Transgressive and runs 49:50. Flood and Alan Moulder produced it with CJ Marks engineering, and the artwork is by Leif Podhajsky. Yannis Philippakis told Interview magazine on February 12, 2013 that the two producers tinkered far less with the songs than other producers the band had worked with.
