‘Exits’ is the first single taken from their fifth album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1, which is set to be released on 8th March this year. Its follow-up, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2 is announced for an Autumn 2019 release.
This is their first album as a quartet, as Foals announced that bassist Walter Gervers has parted ways with the band. “We had 12 amazing years touring together from a small postal van to the Pyramid Stage [Glastonbury Festival] and beyond. It’s the end of a chapter but not the end of the book,” they said in a statement released on 5th January.
