A Conversation With IDLES

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome IDLES to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening of conversation featuring Mark Bowen and Joe Talbot, with special guest Kenny Beats discussing their fifth studio album, TANGK, their creative process, collaboration, and more. 

TANGK is the righteous and vibrant fifth album from madcap truth-seekers, IDLES. Pronounced “tank” with a whiff of the “g” – an onomatopoeic reference to the lashing way the band imagined their guitars sounding that has since grown into a sigil for living in love – the record is the band’s most ambitious and striking work yet. Where IDLES were once set on taking the world’s piss, squaring off with strong jaws against the perennially entitled, and exercising personal trauma in real time, they have arrived in this new act to offer the fruits of such perseverance: love, joy, and indeed gratitude for the mere opportunity of existence.

A radical sense of defiant empowerment radiates from TANGK, co-produced by IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen, Kenny Beats (Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, Remi Wolf), and Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, The Smile, Beck). The album has earned the two-time GRAMMY-nominated band career best reviews, their second UK #1 charting position, a headline slot at Glastonbury’s Other stage, a performance on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon + more. This fall they returned to the US to headline some of their biggest shows yet, including Forest Hills Stadium in NYC.
