Foals have vowed not to cut their hair until they have finished recording their second album.

The band, who are currently on tour in the Far East, promised that the follow-up to their debut 'Antidotes' would be both eager and optimistic.

Frontman Yannis Philippakis, writing on the band's blog, also said that the album “will sound like the dream of an eagle dying.”

Philippakis' blog came after the band's performance at Fuji Rock in Japan last weekend, which he described as “beautiful, clean and sleepless.”
