End With Sunrise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmediately, there is the sense of a band in motion, their storied past not an anchor but a spur. Idlewild's songs offer a string of compelling answers: \"Everything adds up to the present moment, doesn't it?\" Woomble asks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdlewild have been a lot of different things. They were a teenage punk band, slinging buzzsaw riffs and barbed refrains, before becoming one of the most compelling mainstream rock groups of their generation. With 2019's Interview Music, they made sprawling art-pop. On Idlewild, they welcome each of these past selves into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWork on a follow- up to Interview Music was initially planned to begin immediately after the band wrapped up touring, but the pandemic put things into a skid. Touring the 20th anniversary of The Remote Part in 2022 was a visceral reminder of where they'd been and a prompt for what might come next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey assembled songs that celebrated pop hooks and livewire distortion, as well as expressive interplay. Writing continued at Post Electric Studio in Edinburgh and the Isle of Iona Library, before a short, sharp burst of recording in early 2025. The result is a lean, focused document -- 10 tracks that get in and out in 30 minutes and change. With Jones engineering and mixing, the production reflects a collaborative, in- house approach. \"We were referencing ourselves... realising that we had a 'sound',\" Woomble says. Facing forward, not back, Idlewild captures beauty, nuance, and clarity from three decades of sound and feeling -- spontaneous, purposeful, and unmistakably them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56001235124607,"sku":"VVNL5070CD","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/534c9cd1-4e44-4c1b-bcf8-c3b321430296.jpg?v=1769784952","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/idlewild-self-titled-cd-due-out-03-10-25","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
