Idles performing in London for PRS Presents (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Idles have signed to Partisan Records after completing work on their second album.
“This is not a decision based on greed,” Joe Talbot responds. “They excite us and have injected ideas and passions into our camp that we would not have mustered. We as a family have realised our limitations in as far as the ship we have built with you all is becoming too much for the team we have to achieve the best of our abilities.”
“It was time to admit a necessity for help but we needed that to come in the form of trusted, earnest and like-minded people who were as passionate about our art and you people as we were: Partisan Records are the partners we were looking for.”
“We haven’t been given a huge wedge of cash but instead a huge wedge of confidence that we are in safe hands and make no mistake, we are not going to stop working fucking hard for you and ourselves.”
US tour dates have also been announced, and will be followed by a return visit to SXSW in Austin.
Tour dates:
March
9 – Brooklyn NY, Ceremony
10 – Brooklyn NY, Flowers For All Occasions

20 – Toronto ON, Smiling Buddha
