Idles - Tangk (Deluxe transparent yellow) LP

TANGK is the brightest boldest record yet from a band with two GRAMMY nominations, a BRIT Award nomination, a Mercury Music Prize shortlist, and UK #1 album in their wake. TANGK is also 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 Mark Bowen (from IDLES). The contrast between Joe's magnetic force-of-nature and Bowen's contemplative + studied production wizardry has never been more complete and compelling than it is on TANGK.
