TANGK is the righteous and vibrant fifth album from madcap truth-seekers, IDLES. Pronounced“tank” with a whiff of the “g”-an onomatopoeic reference to the lashing way the band imagined their guitars sounding that has since grown into a sigil for living in love-the record is the band’s most ambitious and striking work yet. Where IDLES were once set on taking the world’s piss, squaring off with strong jaws against the perennially entitled, and exercising personal trauma in real time, they have arrived in this new act to offer the fruits of such perseverance: love, joy, and indeed gratitude for the mere opportunity of existence.
A radical sense of defiant empowerment radiates from TANGK, co-produced by Nigel Godrich, IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen, and Kenny Beats. Despite his reputation as an incendiary post-punk spark plug, 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. Lead single “Dancer” stands as the throbbing and scuzzy highlight at the album’s center-rattling bass and ricocheting guitar giving Talbot space to talk about sweat and sex on the dance floor. (You will spy LCD Sound system’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang here, too, singing.) It is lascivious and playful and positive, the ecstatic sound of at least a temporary fix. In the improvised hook, Talbot offers IDLES’ essential new mantra: “I give myself to you/As long as you move on the floor.”
He is singing about the rapture of a new relationship, but he is also singing about the special dynamic between IDLES and their fans, or IDLES and the world at large. This is a band’s vow to keep lifting and fighting for themselves and their listeners, to keep offering the grim persistence of joy and hope and love and wonder as long as that’s what anyone needs to survive. It is a love song the same way that 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.
Check out Lee's production company Holding Hands with Horses.
New Album TANGK out now on Partisan Records. IDLES are touring throughout 2024.

Today we teamed up with Mad Mads again to cover all things Oscar related...from the upcoming 2024 snubs and dubs, to past Oscar hits and misses.
Mads was bitten by the movie bug in the womb - her mother named her after Vertigo’s Madeleine Elster.
Her life has zigged and zagged through the movie industry, from her first gig as a Costume Design Assistant, to producing short films and documentaries back home in Oz, to zipping around the backlots of Hollywood.
