IDLES 'TANGK'

'TANGK' is the bold and vibrant fifth album from UK band IDLES, marking their most ambitious and soul-stirring release yet. Pronounced “tank” with a soft “g,” the title evokes the sharp, lashing energy of their guitar-driven sound, now transformed into a symbol of love and resilience. Where previous records channeled anger, trauma, and confrontation, 'TANGK' shifts focus—radiating empowerment, gratitude, and joy.

Co-produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and guitarist Mark Bowen, the album blends IDLES' post-punk intensity with soulful melodies and anthemic choruses. Frontman Joe Talbot delivers each lyric with raw sincerity, turning personal reflections and communal solidarity into infectious, defiant pop songs. 'TANGK' stands as a celebration of love in all its forms—a powerful, uplifting soundtrack for those looking to fight darkness with connection and hope.
