 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. The official video for ‘Dancer’ has over 1.5M views on YouTube
