Into the Surf

"Into the Surf" is the third single by British indie rock band, Foals, from their sixth studio album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2.

[1] Amanda Thilo, writing for Soundigest, praised the track, saying "'Into The Surf' is an expansive sonic landscape while stripping away most electronic elements and heavy-hitting instrumentals.

Lead singer Yannis Philippakis describes "Into the Surf" as "this shadow of death, of someone not returning from a voyage."

"[3] Released 7 October 2019, the video directed by Steve Warne features an abstract narrative told through stop-motion animation that loosely mirrors the lyrics of the song.

[4] The clip focuses on two characters during a gloomy night: a male figure literally swimming through the sky and a woman, his presumed loved one, waiting wistfully by an attic window and sending a single jasmine flower into a streaming, aerial current of jasmines that flow toward an illuminated moon.
