like the foals but, ur right, their smugness is of a different order to the already smugger-than-thou indie hordes. can we blame too many safe hacks in the late 80s/early 90s music pressses for treating the indie output of any derivative noise/gaze/dream act with undue deference, accentuating their intrinsic hauteur? and i'd have to go back and ask my A Level English lit teacher why the fuckin christ they are all adorned with some kind of butterfly/moth round their collars/sleeves/eating out of hand. it may only be a gesture of creative freedom or suchlike, but it's an irritating one
