After the globally acclaimed releases of Brutalism (2017) and Joy as an Act of Resistance (2018), IDLES are back with their long - awaited third album, Ultra Mono. This album is sonically crafted like a hip - hop record, with production input from Kenny Beats. It intensifies the vitriolic sneer and straightforward social commentary of their previous work. Beneath the self - admitted sloganeering lies a complex and highly relevant album that transforms clichés into high - end art for the public. It represents a momentary self - acceptance. Presented by Partisan Records in 2020, this release comes as a black vinyl pressing with a printed inner sleeve.
To use this vinyl LP, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable platter and center it. Then, carefully lower the tonearm onto the lead - in groove. When the music stops, lift the tonearm gently and return it to its rest. For storage, keep the vinyl in its sleeve and store it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid touching the playing surface of the vinyl with your fingers as it can leave oils and dirt. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove dust. Do not use harsh chemicals on the vinyl as it can damage the surface.
