IDLES return with their new album CRAWLER an album of reflection and healing amid a worldwide pandemic that stretched the planets collective mental and physical health to the breaking point.

Frontman Joe Talbot says, We want people whove gone through trauma, heartbreak, and loss to feel like theyre not alone, and also how it is possible to reclaim joy from those experiences. IDLES albums have always been anchored by these overarching themes, but the ability of the band to juxtapose beauty and rage with humor and drama has never felt more satisfying than on CRAWLER.

These stories are vividly brought to life through IDLES most soul-stirring music to date, recorded with co-producers Kenny Beats (Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs) and IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen. There are, of course, numerous moments that will inspire absolute mayhem in a packed concert venue, but there are also fresh textures and experiments that push IDLES into thrilling new territory. I don’t really see us as a rock band and working with Kenny [Beats] freed us of the idea of genre, Talbot enthuses. On this album, our dissolution of ego was helped by Kennys humble nature and willingness to learn. He has boundless passion for making the best song possible. Not the best rock song the best song possible. He continues, It was writing selfishly that helped make it possible. Reflecting. Telling my own story. Not trying to tell everyone else’s story. Not trying to fix the world just talking about how I am fixing mine.
