Idles - Tangk [LP]

Release Date: February 16, 2024Label: Partisan RecordsTANGK is, at it's core, a love album. Open to anyone who requires something to shout out loud in order to fend off any encroaching sense of the void, now or forever. TANGK is a bona fide pop record in a way we've never heard from Idles before, that is, something for everyone to pass around and share, communal anthems intended for overcoming our grievances. The word - pronounced "tank" with a whiff of the "g" - began as an onomatopoeic reference in-studio for the sound of a guitar tone, but has grown into a sigil for living in love. Joe sings on TANGK in a way we've never heard before, completing his transformation from post-punk firebrand into soul singing evangelist. TANGK was co-produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and Idles guitarist Mark Bowen. Tracklist IDEA 01 Gift Horse POP POP POP Roy A Gospel Dancer Grace Hall & Oates Jungle Gratitude Monolith
