\"IDLES\"
Tangk <\/em>is IDLES’ fifth studio album.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

IDLES say Tangk <\/em>– pronounced ‘tank’ with a whiff of the ‘g’ and a reference to the lashing way they imagined the guitars sounding – is their most ambitious and striking record yet. It’s available to pre-order now HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the album, lead singer Joe Talbot said: “I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dancer <\/em>sees Talbot sing about the rapture of a new relationship, but also about the special dynamic between IDLES and their fans, or IDLES and the world at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
