IDLES return with TANGK, their fifth studio album following the release of 2021’s
GRAMMY-nominated album, ‘CRAWLER’. A radical sense of defiant empowerment radiates from ‘TANGK’, co-produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats and IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen. Despite his reputation as an incendiary post-punk sparkplug, frontman Joe Talbot sings almost all the feelings inside these 10 songs with hard-earned soul, offering each lusty vow or solidarity plea as a bona fide pop song - that is, a thing for everyone to pass around and share, communal anthems intended for overcoming our grievance.
‘TANGK’ is a love album - open to anyone who requires something to shout out loud in order to fend off any encroaching sense of the void, now or forever. First single, ‘Dancer’, features guest appearances by Nancy Whang and James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem and has since accumulated 5 million streams.
Also available to independent retailers on translucent pink vinyl, housed in a single-sleeve jacket and printed inner sleeve.
