Foals welcome bassist Walter Gervers back to the band

"Get ready, the boys are back in business"

By Andrew Trendell | 2nd May 2023 | NME

Foals have announced that former bassist Walter Gervers has re-joined the band.

The band, who are currently gearing up for a run of intimate UK out-store shows before hitting the road to support Paramore in South America and then later return to headline Reading & Leeds, had previously teased to NME that they’d have a “surprise” for fans about who’d be playing with them at the upcoming gigs.

Now, they’ve revealed that Gervers is back in the line-up, following his departure from the group in 2017.

“After six years in the alpine wilderness guess who’s back in the band?,” wrote frontman Yannis Philippakis in an Instagram post of his fellow Foals members in the pub with Gervers. “Walter is back and better than ever. Rejoining for all the coming shows and into the future. Get ready, the boys are back in business.”

The band then went on to share footage of the reunited line-up back in rehearsals.

Gervers previously left the group in order to “pursue a new life”. The band remained a four-piece before becoming a trio when keyboardist Edwin Congreave left in 2021 to focus on his studies and environmental work. Following Gervers’ exit, live bass duties have been carried out by Everything Everything’s Jeremy Pritchard and Jagwar Ma’s Jack Freeman.

Speaking to NME in 2019 ahead of the release of ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part One’ – their first record without Gervers – Philippakis spoke of how the band felt without him as “the counsellor” of Foals.

“Walter was probably the nicest member of Foals, so without him, you’re left with four sharp edges in a room,” said Yannis. “Those sharp edges have to find a way to get on quite quickly or the whole thing turns into an unbearable nightmare.”

Drummer Jack Bevan continued: “If you were to look at it as a family, and I’ve seen about 100 times more of these guys than I have my actual family over the last 10 years, then Walter was kind of like the dad or much older brother who kept us from fighting with each other. A lot of the time, he was the one who would organise us to do nice and wholesome activities.”

Last month saw Foals release the dub remix of their acclaimed 2022 album ‘Life Is Yours’ by Speedy Wunderground label boss and super-producer Carey (Wet Leg, Slowthai, Fontaines D.C.) as part of 2023’s Record Store Day releases.

Philippakis told NME about how the “sweaty and unclean” remix album “goes into space, via Streatham”, as well as their hopes and plans for touring with Paramore and headlining Reading & Leeds for a second time.

Foals embark on a short run of intimate UK dates this month before Reading & Leeds in August. Visit here for tickets and more information.

WERK EDWIN SMET INSPIREERT, INTRIGEERT, TREKT AAN EN LAAT NIET MEER LOS

Na beschouwing en bespreking van de eigen uitgave "Solidariteit / Solidarity", door Edwin Smet in beperkte oplage van 50 exemplaren gedrukt - ik bezit nummer 16, is mijn interesse voor zijn werk gewekt. Dat hij met eenvoudige middelen, de schildertape en de tafel als basisvorm, meervoudige uitdrukkingen weet te maken. Prettig is het daarom dat de uitgever Van Spijk ArtBooks mij het boek "For the Longest Time" wilde sturen om meer werk van de hand van Edwin Smet te kunnen beleven. In dit boek vind ik echter geen tafels zoals in het genoemde vlugschrift. Tafels die met hun poten en blad symbool staan voor samenwerking in samenzijn. In de gebonden uitgave tref ik vooral boomvormen aan die een boslandschap vormen. Mogelijk als vingerwijzing hoe de mens met de natuur in negatieve zin kan omgaan. Smet probeert met zijn kunst dat idee van onnadenkend misbruik om te buigen naar verantwoord gebruik van de middelen die ons op deze aarde ten dienste staan. Een druppel op een gloeiende plaat? De tijd wijst het uit.

Met schildertape en het gieten van acrylverf in lagen bouwt Smet zijn werken gevoelsmatig op, althans bouwt de compositie zichzelf intuïtief op. De schilder heeft wel de leiding door de manier waarop de tape wordt geplakt, maar de verf neemt het over wanneer het wordt gegoten. Er ontstaan onverwachte mogelijkheden doordat de lagen zich gaan mengen. “Soms verbinden de kleuren zich met elkaar tot een nieuwe, soms geven ze elkaar vriendelijk voorrang, andere keren trekken ze samen op”. In dat proces kan Smet nog enigszins sturen, tempert felle kleuren met houtskool, maar laat het resultaat liever over aan het  materiaal. Het moet een verrassing blijven. De vormgeving is een constructie die herinnert aan een bestaande wereld. Het laat de kunstenaar denken aan de bossen van zijn jeugd. Bomen inspireren hem, intrigeren, trekken aan en laten niet meer los. Want zit, citeer ik uit de begeleidende tekst van Kees Verbeek in het boek, "achter elke boom een vraagteken, een verhaal, een veelheid aan voorbije seizoenen". En in de boom, de stam, staat meen ik een uitroepteken waarin de geschiedenis in jaarringen is vastgelegd. Zo vertelt de boom, iedere boom, een eigen persoonlijk verhaal. Elke boom reageert anders en op een eigen manier op de omstandigheden van binnenuit maar vooral van buitenaf. Bomen, het zijn net mensen.

Wat Smet evenwel het meest aangrijpt en wat hij maar niet kwijtraakt in het thema bos is het beroemde veld nabij het Belgische Ieper, dat leed onder de druk van de wereldoorlog, de eerste. In dat beeld, daarvan heeft Smet een oude foto, in dat krachtige beeld van verwoesting zijn de bomen verworden tot zwarte stakige sculpturen. Gereduceerd tot objecten. "Op een verwarrende manier is het prachtig. Het is dit bos, vol boomachtigen in wanorde, dit landschap van menselijk falen, dat een basis vormt voor zijn vormentaal". Want ja, die staketselvormige bomen zie ik terug in het werk van Smet. Ik bekijk in het boek geen sublieme landschappen waarin bomen luisterrijke kronen dragen en vogels zich welhaast verstaanbaar laten horen. Het werk van Smet verbeeldt geen paradijs, maar meer een Hof van Heden. Een tuin waarin niet de boom van goed en kwaad de mens op het verkeerde pad brengt maar waarvoor dit creatuur zelf een bedreiging vormt voor boom, dier en plant. Om met Smet te spreken: "We planten zielloze loodsen langs snelwegen, we vervuilen ons milieu, we tasten ons leefklimaat aan en in de binnensteden woekert eenvormigheid".

Lang heeft Edwin Smet zijn werk voor zichzelf gehouden. Nadat hij in de kunsten academisch geschoold is valt zijn oog op andere vormen en is vrij werk eerst nog bijzaak. Maar woord en beeld blijven hoog in het vaandel staan, toch. Voordat zijn werk echter onder ogen van anderen dan enkel intimi kon komen moest hij eerst klaar zijn met de beeldtaal en de kleurstellingen. Het is een jarenlang ploeteren om de juiste vormen te vinden in de meest bij hem passende techniek. Voor hemzelf is het werk de moeite waard, maar of het voor anderen sterk genoeg is om er naar te kijken blijft voor hem de vraag. Pas een acht jaren geleden vond hij de tijd rijp en het werk zover gekristalliseerd dat het volgens hem de wereld in kon. De inspiratie heeft voldoende voedingsbodem, het talent genoeg reden te groeien en het werk grond om te bloeien en te boeien. Smet is geen laatbloeier, zijn kunst heeft tijd nodig te botten voordat het tot bloei komt en vrucht gaat dragen. Verbeek besluit zijn introducerende bijdrage dan ook als volgt: "Bomen komen traag tot wasdom en bereiken pas na jaren hun volle schoonheid. Edwin Smet had geen haast en heeft geen haast. Althans, dat vertelt hij zichzelf. Zijn werk, dat heeft de tijd".

'For the Longest Time' is het boek getiteld. Want Edwin Smet heeft zijn werk gemaakt voor de langste tijd. Het heeft een lange voorbereidingstijd gehad en zal daardoor voor langere tijd uitwerking hebben. Vooral in het actuele thema waarin het is gezet. Eerst bouwt hij zichzelf een wereld. Een omgeving die niet bestaat, maar wel realiteit had kunnen zijn. Het is het bos in zijn gedachten. De herinnering aan plekken waar hij ooit was of in een foto of boek heeft gezien. Het bekeken beeld vertaald in zijn hoofd, het krijgt fictieve toevoegingen passend bij de stemming van het moment of in het verhaal dat moet worden verteld.

Meestal is een en ander goed zichtbaar in voorstelling, maar al experimenterend versplintert het beeld in een expressieve abstractie. Met de boomvorm als uitgangspunt vindt Smet veel variatie op het thema. Maar het zijn alle dode bomen. Bomen zonder blad krijgen kleur door het veelzijdige palet van de kunstenaar. Soms valt het beeld open door een schijnsel van de zon, maar meestal is de sfeer donker en in zichzelf gekeerd. Veelal lijdt het bos in het werk van Smet, roept het om hulp: kijk door de bomen en zie het bos, maar raak door de bomen te zien het bos niet uit het oog. Ondanks de minder prettige aanleiding zijn de werken goed om te zien. De opgaande lijnen breken wel af, in het bos moet dood hout terug naar de natuur - ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Het zijn hoekige en daardoor letterlijk prikkelende vormen, die bij het doordachte maar soms toevallige kleurgebruik een vriendelijk karakter krijgt. In de werken van Smet herstelt de natuur zich. Goed nieuws verpakt in een 'slecht' verhaal.

Wel weet Edwin Smet de waterige verf en de gesnipperde tape zo naar zijn hand te zetten dat er vreemdsoortige velden ontstaan. Met de idee van een landschap, de zee, gestapelde stenen. Maar al snel komt de boom in het werk terug. De boom als zichzelf, maar ook als symbool in het verhaal, een metafoor voor de vernietigende krachten van de mens. Die mens wordt als letterlijk persoon niet gezien in het werk van Smet, maar is er wel als geest figuurlijk in aanwezig. De geest van afbraak en verval. Het bos als proces in de productie verliest de kracht om de wereld te laten leven, het is een ingeklapte long.

Edwin Smet is een verteller van verhalen met slechts één groot verhaal met legio hoofdstukken. Steeds met die drie woorden om mee te beginnen 'er was eens' en telkens als afronding 'en ze leefden nooit meer lang en gelukkig'. Het sprookje eindigt nooit al goed, er heerst een sfeer van ondergang, het verliezen van aardse waarden. Maar tussen de regels door is er hoop, vertrouwen in de toekomst dat het anders kan gaan. Wanneer dit werk maar gezien wordt zodat de boodschap overkomt, duidelijk is. But don't shoot the messenger. Door het mistroostige karakter sijpelt toch veel plezier uit het boek. De manier waarop is geëxperimenteerd met het materiaal, is onderzocht hoe het verhaal sprekend uit te beelden. In een bijzondere om niet te zeggen unieke techniek. Het plakken van de tape en het laten vloeien van de acrylverf.

Dat Smet zich alleen zou interesseren voor bomen doet tekort aan zijn werken tot nu. Het vormt wel een groot deel van zijn oeuvre, maar overheerst het niet. De stammen en takken zijn voor hem een middel zich te uiten. Maar er wordt meer zichtbaar om het verhaal kracht bij te zetten. Zo hebben huisvormen inhoud, treden ruimtelijke vormen buiten dragers, is een ovaalvormig element van zwart gat tot verkwikkende bron. In alle onrust van de compositie treedt mysterieus verstilling op. Zijn werk is een punt van aandacht, iedere keer opnieuw vergt het concentratie. De uiting leidt de opmerkzaamheid, oplettend stuurt het mijn blik. Zijn werken inspireren mij, intrigeren, trekken aan en laten niet meer los.

For the Longest Time. Selectie werken Edwin Smet 2016 tot 2021. Met een inleidende tekst van Kees Verbeek. Uitgave Van Spijk ArtBook, 2021.

                            Harewood Manor in England.

    ~ “Home to the Lascelles family for hundreds of years, Harewood House is a famous landmark in Leeds. However, the grandeur of property harbors a dark and troubled past. In the late 17th century, members of the Lascelles family purchased plantations in the West Indies, and the income generated from these plantations allowed Henry Lascelles to purchase the property in 1738, and his son, Edwin, who was the first Baron of Harew ood and a rich slave, built the house in 1759 and 1771 to replace the original solar that existed on the property. His money initially came from trade, mostly from the sugar plantations in Barbados, which were worked by African slaves. The Lascelles brothers concentrated on their production and export, importing slaves from West Africa to work in the plantations. Edwin was the head of the family since 1786, after his two younger brothers, Daniel and Henry, died two years apart. He built 22 plantations in the West Indies where 3,000 slaves worked. He later died without children and the property then passed to his cousin Edward, who had worked as a customs clerk in Barbados. Edward became Count of Harewood and won the title of Viscount Lascelles in 1812.” ~

Harewood House, an renowned landmark in Leeds, and has opened up on the stately homes history and how it was funded by slavery

A stately home has opened up about its slave trade past to shed light on its dark history in a bid to educate others.

Harewood House was purchased using money from slave plantations and the first Baron of Harewood was a wealthy slave owner.

The vast property, near Leeds, has opened up about its sombre history instead of running from it, LeedsLive reported.

David Lascelles, Earl of Harewood said: "I believe very strongly that we can change things in the present, but for better or for worse there is nothing that any of us can do about history and the past.”

The home of the Lascelles family for hundreds of years, Harewood House is a renowned landmark in the area.

In the late 17th century members of the family bought up plantations in the West Indies and worked them with slaves they imported from Africa. David Lascelles with the late Queen (

Money generated from these allowed Henry Lascelles to purchase the estate in 1738 and his son Edwin, the first Baron of Harewood, was a wealthy slave owner who built the home between 1759 and 1771, replacing the original manor.

The family generated their money from the sugar plantations and the Lascelles brothers imported slaves from West Africa to work them.

Edwin headed the family fortune from 1786 after his two younger brothers, Daniel and Henry, both died within two years of each other. The house's first owners profiteered from the slave trade (

Following that, he added 22 more plantations and 3,000 slaves to the family’s slave empire - benefiting from the collapse of sugar exports during the American War of Independence.

Edwin went on to die childless, and took his title with him, his fortune passing to his cousin Edward, who eventually became the Earl of Harewood. In 1812 he also became Viscount Lascelles.

The Lascelles soon became aristocrats and the sixth Earl of Harewood married Princess Mary, Queen Elizabeth II’s aunt. Photograph of Harewood House taken in the 19th century (

Then, in 2005, the eighth earl, David Lascelles, second cousin of King Charles, opened up about his ancestors’ profiteering off the slave trade in a documentary.

Much of the research into the Lascelles’ slave trade links was undertaken by the University of York in 2007 when they digitised much of the business papers detailing the families affairs.

David and the family helped researchers at York University on the life and times of Henry Lascelles, they did not hesitate to hand over letters and documents. Researchers from the University of York helped shine a light on the family's deep ties to the slave trade (

The family sold their last plantation on the island in 1970 and now have a legacy on the island of Barbados.

Many local residents who have descended from slaves still have Lascelles or Harewood as their surname, as it was common for slaves to take the name of their owners.

David has made it clear that there is educational work being done to make sure Harewood is inclusive and that the history is out for the public to see.

PNG Kumuls vs Wales Match Preview

The Kumuls very nearly pulled off a mighty upset in the opening week as they went down to Tonga 24-18 before beating the Cook Islands in the second round by 32-16. Their tenacity and power has always been their strength and they have an abundance of it again at this World Cup, however with their improvements in ball play, they are going to be the favourites in this match and if they reach the Quarters, will cause their opponents their a lot of grief.

Wales might be winless, but they have not been disgraced, despite being in a Group with 3 other sides that are all big powerful ball runners. They narrowly lost to the Cook Islands 18-12 in the first round and were comfortably beaten by Tonga 32-6 in the second game. Wales though have shown that they do punch above their weight and will not go away meekly.

PNG played well in the 24-18 defeat to pool favourites Tonga and a 32-16 win over the Cook Islands last Tuesday put them in pole position to join the Tongans in the quarter-finals.

That said, Wales will not roll over and they demonstrated their ability 24 hours earlier by scoring first in their 32-6 loss to Tonga.

Tonga roared back but John Kear’s men impressed and the coach will be calling for another gallant performance.

However, the Kumuls ran away from the Cook Islands in the second half and captain Rhyse Martin looked particularly sharp.

The Leeds forward missed out on the world record for consecutive successful kicks at goal but still knocked over eight points and scored a try.

Martin also went over against Tonga and at the prices, his class with ball in hand suggests he is one to look out for in tryscorer markets.
