IDLES - Grace (Partisan Records)
Release Date: Out Now
The Bristol boys of IDLES are gearing up for a big ol' year in 2024 but they're treating us to one last track before 2023 shuffles of it's mortal coil forever. 'Grace' comes in with a menacing guitar squall and bass thrum but played out over a disco beat and more demure vocals than fans might be used to. There's almost a 'Zooropa'-era U2 vibe about some of this but the snarling beast that drives IDLES forwards is never far from the surface as Joe Talbot's teeth clench over certain lines, letting that frustration seethe through. See you on the flip side boys.
