Tangk - Idles (2024)

End of Year: some stuff I missed or mostly missed in 2024

I love me some Idles (O_o O_O). This is not an entirely new era for the group, but they’re really hitting their stride in finding the optimal mix between brainy and abrasive.

Radiohead codependent Nigel Godrich is at the helm, and he helps shape the fury into incandescence.

Tracks I Liked

Gift Horse - comes galloping in

Pop Pop Pop - processed, metered, quantized, and just as menacing

Hall & Oats - pure brilliance
