What Went Down by Foals

Track

"I like Foals. They're a strange band I don't quite know what their influences are. The whole concept of influences is a slightly dull concept, it's one of those things that uninspired interviewers always ask. Their influence thing is really fascinating though. Their guitar playing sounds like Femi Cuti or something like that but obviously with an alternative structure to the song. Yeah, I love the Foals, they're great"

"I got into them when I was maybe like 14 or 15 or something like that. Which was also the time that that movie Pump Up The Volume came out and they did that really slow version of 'Wave Of Mutilation', which I really liked. It was around the time that I was getting into punk, and indie and alternative… things. Why do I like it? Well it's a good record."

Light Perpetual is a wonderful book that takes us on a journey of the alternative lives of five southeast London children. Alec, Ben, Vernon, Jo and Val are all queueing in Woolworths when a German bomb hits. This first chapter about the bomb dropping was stunning. I didn’t think I could read pretty much a whole chapter about the way that a bomb impacts and then explodes AND enjoy it - but it was mesmerising. Then, something changes, and it’s as if the bomb never happens. We are taken on an alternative future, alternative lives for the five children. It’s as if the bomb had never dropped. Life goes on, and these five young children are able to live their lives as teenagers, adults, and in to old age. And what varied lives they lead. Not only do we see what becomes of them, but we experience a significant chunk of the twentieth century with all of the huge changes and the impact on the people that lived through these times.

I loved everything about this book, and I can’t believe that I haven’t read any Francis Spufford before. I shall have to rectify that. In the meantime, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this - it’s just my kind of book.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for helping me out with my NetGalley list once again (it happens a lot!), and to Francis Spufford for reading along with us.
