Idles unleash video for Stendhal Syndrome


Idles 1




Idles have unleashed their video for Stendhal Syndrome in anticipation of the release of debut album Brutalism.

“Armed with our secret weapon, (a lovely and excessively tall Belgian man called Ben) both Lee and I set about the galleries of London and proceeded to film me pissing about in front of a total of 91 pieces of art,” bassist Dev says. “Gin was needed.”

“All moves featured are choreographed by myself under the guidance of the director/singer/artiste extraordinaire Joseph Talbot. I am available for dance lessons if anyone is interested.”

By the time of album release on March 10th the band will have started a long UK tour which stretches into April.
