IDLES Roll Out New Album “TANGK”

Bristol UK’s IDLES have today released their fifth album, TANGK, that follows on from 2021’s Crawler. In an explosive run of unerringly stirring albums, TANGK, pronounced tank with a whiff of the g, is an onomatopoeic reference to the lashing way the band imagined the guitars sounding that has grown into a sort of sigil for living in love. TANGK is at once sprawling and focused, imaginative and immediate.

“‘TANGK’. I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.” (lead singer Joe Talbot)

IDLESwill also commence their 2024 world tour that ses the band playing across the UK and beyond. The tour will see IDLES play to a combined audience of tens of thousands of fans during the UK and Ireland autumn shows alone, including at London’s prestigious Alexandra Palace. IDLES are also confirmed to play some of their biggest ever shows in North America, notably with two nights each at the Hollywood Palladium and at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre.
