IDLES have returned with their brand new single “Mr. Motivator,” the first taste of their highly anticipated third album that will be released later this year via Partisan Records.
It’s another pummeling rocker that features the amped up and hyper-aware social commentary from vocalist Joe Talbot. The instrumentation is fierce but the production allows each member a chance to shine. The song’s title and subject matter is one that is certainly timely and relevant – as you’d come to expect from these guys by now.
They go on the describe as much in their note about the track:
We want to start this journey with a means to not only encapsulate the album’s sentiment, but to encourage our audience to dance like no one is watching and plough through these dark times with a two tonne machete of a song and the most beautiful community of scumbags ever assembled. Let’s go. All is love.”
The single’s release features a brand new music video is self-directed and features fan-sourced exercise footage and the bandmembers themselves. Enjoy that below.
