IDLES have announced TANGK, their fifth album, which will be out Feb. 16 via Partisan. The album was co-produced by Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats (who worked on 2021’s CRAWLER) and the band’s Mark Bowen. Says frontman Joe Talbot, “TANGK. I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.”

The first single from the album is “Dancer,” which features LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang. (IDLES and LCD toured together this summer.) “’Dancer’ is the violence that comes from the pounding heart of the dancefloor and rushes through your body and gives you life from music, from love and from you,” Talbot says.
