Idles – Tangk (LP, Partisan)

‘TANGK’ – IDLE’s fifth album and the follow-up to the Grammy-nominated album ‘CRAWLER’! Where IDLES were once intent on shouting slogans at the world in anger, defying the eternally yesterday or processing personal traumas in real time, in this chapter they have arrived in new waters: love, joy and actually gratitude for mere existence becomes the center of the eleven songs, without becoming musically or socially softer. TANGK. I needed love. That’s how 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,” explains singer Joe Talbot, who writes passionate notes on the tracks to keep going and keep loving, offering every sensual vow or plea for solidarity as a real pop song.
