Release – As they build towards the Feb. 16 release of their new album TANGK, the UK band IDLES share the new single “Grace.”
“The song came from nowhere and everything,” said Joe Talbot. “It was a breath and a call to be held. The only words or singing that came from our sessions with Nigel and I needed it, truly. All is love.”
“Grace” is a relatively slow burner by IDLES’ standards, as it takes the time to amplify the tension before detonating with a life-affirming crescendo.
As with the rest of the upcoming album, “Grace” was produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, The Smile, Beck), Kenny Beats (Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, Benee) and the band’s Mark Bowen.
TANGK is available to pre-order HERE. Set to be released via Partisan Records, it follows IDLES’ 2021 album CRAWLER .
As they began to lay the groundwork for TANGK, “Dancer” announced IDLES’ return in style, a track which blended their kinetic intensity with a new-found lascivious playfulness and was further spotlighted with guest backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem duo James Murphy and Nancy Whang.
