Antidotes is the debut studio album of UK indie rock band Foals. It features the singles "Balloons", "Cassius" and "Red Socks Pugie". Foals announced the next single from the album will be "Olympic Airways". The album was released on March 24, 2008¹. Foals remixed Antidotes in London, complaining that Dave Sitek made it sound like it was "recorded in the Grand Canyon." ²

Recording

In an interview with MusFlashTV, Foals' drummer Jack Bevan said, "Our producer, David Sitek he was great because he didn't interfere in the actual recording progress. We kind of engineered it so that we would get the tracks down, get all of the sort of essential parts down and then, halfway through the recording he kind of came in, and when we were doing overdubs and that kind of thing, he sort of started to assist us with making it sort of fill out."

Yannis added "All the sounds were there, and he added a depth. He messed with the spaces around the sounds so there's this weird ambience on all the tracks."
