IDLES worked with producer Kenny Beats on their fourth studio album.
IDLES have gone behind the scenes on the making of their 2021 LP Crawler.
There was a series of vignettes released when the record first hit the shelves just over a year ago, and now a longer look has been unveiled at an album which put the band back on a firm footing following the misstep in lockdown of Ultra Mono.
“Ultimately Crawler is an experimental album,” our review concludes. “A hard album. An uncompromising album. It’s correct to say that these adjectives have all been used to describe Idles and their music before, but if Ultra Mono was a waypoint, there’s a feeling of destination here; at the fourth attempt you sense this is the record they set out to write more than half-a-decade ago.”
“Operating on their terms, this is a band who are the same old misfits but now with one foot in a totally different grave. It’s sonic proof that, once you’ve had the conversation, you can’t ever go back to what you used to call home again.”
