    If there’s a more innovative and exciting rock album coming in 2024, we can’t wait to hear it.

    A raucous expression of love, TANGK is raw, vulnerable and inimitably IDLES.

    Its aim is true, uplifting and yes, mighty persuasive. [Mar 2024, p.80]

    Not everything on Tangk works, but the vast majority of it does, with an urgency that draws you into its message of positivity: reason enough to break out the freudenfreude.

    No longer just parochial rabble rousers, Idles are moving on up.

    Tangk underpins its more personal and emotional lyrics with rich, layered arrangements. It’s in this delicate balance of sound and sentiment that the album finds its groove—not always in the heights it occasionally struggles to reach, but in its earnest exploration of love.

    IDLES wanted TANGK to be their Kid A, but they ended up delivering their Tranquility Base Hotel Casino.
