Idles toe aan derde plaat

'Ultra Mono' verschijnt op 25 september via Partisan Records.

Idles heeft laten weten dat de opvolger van het gevierde 'Joy As An Act Of Resistance' klaar is.

This is the instruction manual to ‘Joy…’. It’s important to love yourself, but how do we do that? This is how we do that: by building something instead of just talking.

On the first album, I was talking about my past and accepting that how I felt was normal, and now I’m in CBT which is [about finding] pragmatic steps to change your outlook so that in the future you’re emotionally mature. The songs are all projections of inner workings,” he continued. “I’m not preaching or telling anyone else what to do. I’m showing people what I’m doing to become a better person in the long run - no, not better, but a more productive person…”
