On 'CRAWLER', IDLES confront trauma and healing head-on, crafting a record that balances raw intensity with surprising vulnerability. Written and recorded during the pandemic, the album captures moments of heartbreak, loss, and survival, while also reclaiming joy from painful experiences. Produced by Kenny Beats and guitarist Mark Bowen, it marks one of the band’s boldest sonic evolutions to date. Distorted riffs, unsettling atmospheres, and dynamic rhythms collide with moments of reflection and restraint, creating a soundscape that is equally bruising and cathartic.

The band’s signature fury is still present in tracks like "The Wheel" and "Car Crash," built for chaotic live shows, but 'CRAWLER' also ventures into fresh territory. Songs like "When the Lights Come On" and "Progress" weave in textures of electronic experimentation and melodic vulnerability. Joe Talbot’s lyrics remain unflinchingly personal, offering stories of survival and redemption that resonate universally. From the haunting opener "MTT 420 RR" to the closing "The End," the album feels like both a confession and a rallying cry. 'CRAWLER' isn’t just another IDLES record—it’s a testament to transformation, proving that beauty and rage can coexist within the same breath.
