If Pringles have taught us anything, it's that once you pop, you can't stop, and the unhinged British steam train that is Idles has well and truly popped off... there's no putting this brawling genie back in its bottle. Refusing to take a single moment to breathe after their Grammy-nominated album CRAWLER, Idles return with new album TANGK, once again teaming with producer Kenny Beats, but this time with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich in the mix for added magic. If that's not enough to tingle your dingle, relentless new single Dancer featured LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy and Nancy Whang. Wicked. - Flying Out
TANGK is the righteous and vibrant fifth album from madcap truth-seekers, IDLES. Pronounced “tank” with a whiff of the “g” - an onomatopoeic reference to the lashing way the band imagined their guitars sounding that has since grown into a sigil for living in love - the record is the band’s most ambitious and striking work yet. Where IDLES were once set on taking the world’s piss, squaring off with strong jaws against the perennially entitled, and exercising personal trauma in real time, they have arrived in this new act to offer the fruits of such perseverance: love, joy, and indeed gratitude for the mere opportunity of existence.
