Waaaaaaay better than anything on Ultra Mono 

Nice treat for all the fans who bought tickets to the tour in spite of Ultra Mono getting a Crawler album tour instead.

[the wonderwhy]

Completely forgot they had a tour booked in tbh. Which is silly of me because the blokes are constantly touring

I do have to say that the Ultra Mono tracks sounded alright live

The bastards. They'll sell you the album on 17 different colours of vinyl yet the only way the songs will sound good is if you pay an extra £30 and stand in front of the band.

Yeah that's a fucking great tune, good to have them back.

....where do you think they'll place next year?

About 5pm on the Other Stage I think. They don't seem to be gunning for the biggest slots available and a berth as an early evening party-starter would fit them like a glove.

I’d take that. Would happily see them again, but realistically they wouldn’t win many clash arguments.

They've clearly been listening to my comments about A Hymn being the only good thing about UM.

In all seriousness though that's class, bring on the rest of it.

The single is out. If anyone is getting the vinyl then get the eco edition. Youre guaranteed a diff color nobody else will have.

 

 

Yeah I’ve just ordered the eco version.

Late October/early November is suddenly stacking up for vinyl deliveries. Think I’ve now got Parquet Courts, LDR, Warren Drugs, Kid Annesiac, Oasis at Knewborth and this coming in the space of about 3-4 weeks.

They’d be an excellent JP headliner but early evening Other stage as dental suggests probably makes more sense.

I really like that new song. Other than A Hymn, Ultra Mono was a massive step down from the previous two albums but this is definitely a step in the right direction. I think they were definitely heading towards the point of needing to change their sound a bit to stop things going stale and this certainly does that.

I'd love a JP headline slot for them but I think you're probably right. 

They're usually happy to take random slots like when they were a Leeds exclusive subbing the smaller stage. 

Excited by the new track!

Well Im wondering what it means for me. Cause the u.s tour starts next week. Are they going to play more than a couple new ones or wait? They couldnt spoil half the record with it coming out so soon.

When they last toured the UK, they played 2/3 tracks off Ultra Mono which was months in advance. 

I'd expect another tour announcement for summer 2022, or maybe similar time of the year for you guys in the US.

Well I think theyre most likely going to return for Coachella so a spring run is probably in their plans albeit not as extensive as this one is.

Really like that new tune, after the last poo fest of an album.

Hey! I wanna go back to when everyone slagged Idles off. It somehow suits their image better.

[Wooderson]

A stinker of a track.

But ‘stinker’ means bad?

[Jacksamthompson]

Like that the new tracks a bit different than previously. Getting a bit fatigued with their music at the mo. Not listening much anymore.

Can't wait for the Idles X Doja collab

Remember that we're living in a timeline where Rick Astley and Blossoms singing The Smiths is a thing. This barely warrants a raised eyebrow in 2021.
