"Crawler" LP black by Idles

Deluxe 2LP - Mastered at half-speed (45rpm), pressed on black double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves.

The fourth album by the British group in as many years, co-produced by Kenny Beats (Vince Staples, slowthai, Freddie Gibbs) and IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen, follows "Ultra Mono" from 2020, which entered the charts at number 14 in Germany - and even reached number 1 in the UK! On "CRAWLER", the band tells vivid stories of trauma, addiction, and recovery with their post-punk vocabulary, with the sound ranging from electronic minimalism to fierce yelling and powerful stomping, complemented by singer Joe Talbot's sung cynicism and spoken slogans.

Fans can look forward to 14 new songs, through which the band also explores exciting new territories. Singer Joe Talbot demonstrates his vocal skills impressively on the lead single "The Beachland Ballroom" - an honest soul song that gradually builds up intensity.
