Idles: Tangk (2024)

Bristol’s rowdy, sometimes troubled Joe Talbot parks much of his angst for this terrific collection of diverse songs which are welded into a complete package of emotions which are complex, subtle and delivered with a gripping musicality and a hard-edged lyricism. Raw and rough when it needs to be but also art-pop to dance too from the excellent band.

Next: Gang of Four, Entertainment; LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver
