IDLES are back with their new album, CRAWLER. Amid a global pandemic that pushed the world's mental and physical health to the limit, this album is a reflection and a journey of healing. Frontman Joe Talbot says they aim to make those who've endured trauma, heartbreak, and loss feel less alone and show that joy can be reclaimed from such experiences. IDLES' albums have always had powerful themes, but on CRAWLER, the band masterfully combines beauty, rage, humor, and drama like never before. Recorded with co - producer Kenny Beats, known for working with Vince Staples and Freddie Gibbs, the music is IDLES' most soul - stirring yet. There are parts that will incite chaos in a full concert hall, and also new textures and experiments that take IDLES into exciting new areas. Talbot says working with Kenny freed them from genre constraints. This is the fourth studio album from the UK post - punk band, produced by Kenny Beats. It comes on 'eco - mix' unique colored vinyl. The eco - mix vinyl uses leftover wax from the factory, so each record is different and the color is random. It's an eco - friendly choice as it repurposes material that would otherwise be wasted. The records can be various colors like beautiful blues, vibrant reds, and glowing greens. It also has a printed inner sleeve and is a limited edition from Partisan Records in 2021.
Using your IDLES CRAWLER vinyl record is easy. Just place it on a turntable, gently drop the needle on the record's edge, and let the music play. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. Store the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. After each use, put the record back in its sleeve carefully to protect it. Remember, since this is an eco - mix vinyl, each record is unique, so enjoy the special look and sound it brings to your collection.
