With touring on the shelf for 2020, Foals Drummer Jack Bevan told The Guardian that the band will likely start writing new material sometime this year.

In the lengthy interview, Jack also mentioned the financial impact the lack of touring not only has on the band members but everyone included in putting on a live tour. The band has been selling T-shirts to support the crew during this down time.
That information coincides with what vocalist Yannis Philippakis told NME back in April. Read that interview here.
