IDLES return with "CRAWLER", an album of healing in the midst of a global pandemic that has pushed the planet's collective mental and physical health to breaking point.
Frontman Joe Talbot says: "We want people who have been through trauma, heartbreak, and loss to feel like they're not alone, and also that it's possible to find joy after these experiences." IDLES' albums have always been rooted in these primal themes, but the band's ability to juxtapose beauty and rage with humor and drama has never been as satisfying as on "CRAWLER". These stories are brought to life through IDLES' most poignant music to date, recorded with co-producer Kenny Beats (Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs). There are, of course, many moments that will inspire absolute mayhem in crowded concert halls, but there are also new textures and experiments that push IDLES into uncharted territory. "I don't really see us as a 'rock band'. And working with Kenny Beats freed us from the idea of genre," enthuses Talbot. "On this album, the dissolution of our ego was fostered by Kenny's humble nature and his willingness to learn. He has an boundless passion for making the best song possible. Not the best 'rock' song - the best song possible."
