The Story
Reissue of the debut album from post-punk icons IDLES.
Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational and infectiously volatile, IDLES are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, they are a band that until now could only be truly understood by witnessing in a live environment - but with āBrutalismā it surely feels like they have captured the intensity of that live sound. Bottled up here are the abrasive, memorable lyrics of Joseph Talbot delivered with all of the spite and wry humour he puts across on the stage.
Dedicated in part to the loss of his mother, who adorns the recordās cover, and partly to a perceived decimation of society, from the NHS to public services across Britain, āBrutalismā is a deadly serious indictment on popular culture.
