TANGK (Vinyl) - By:Idles - Model Number: PTKF3041-1

Description

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, 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.
