In the half a decade since Brutalism announced the arrival of something truly
extraordinary, IDLES have established themselves as one of the UKs most
reliably provocative bands. Last years Ultra Mono hit a pinnacle of self-
owned sloganeering and bursts of angry noise, neatly encapsulating everything
they seemed to be about and scoring a UK Number One album in the process. In
the wake of that success they could easily have served up more of the same
but Crawler is something altogether different.
The change is apparent right from the off as opener MTT 420 RR revs its
engines on the back of the riff from Angel by fellow Bristolians Massive
Attack. Dissecting a horrific road accident as a metaphor for frontman Joe
Talbots descent into addiction  a central theme of the album  it builds
the tension through minimalist instrumentation without ever providing the
expected noise-burst release. When The Lights Come On evokes the proto-goth
creep of Bauhaus and Car Crash sounds like the successor to The Normals
seminal industrial/synth-pop anthem Warm Leatherette. Even when they look
backwards though, they make everything their own and tug it firmly into the
present. A case in point is album centrepiece The Beachland Ballroom, which
sees the band launching into a big soul tune and Talbot ditching his usual
shout-spoken delivery for a rather impressive singing voice. Its most
definitely still IDLES, but not like youve heard them before.
There are moments when the sound is more familiarly chaotic. The New
Sensation is a driving dig at the Governments suggestion that people in the
arts should simply retrain, Meds throws crazed John Zorn-esque sax breaks
atop a distorted bass groove that is pure IDLES, and Wizz is 30 seconds of
grinding noise featuring texts from Joes former dealer transformed into
lyrics.
So, this might be a more reflective, experimental IDLES, but they remain a
band filled equally with anger, humour and vitriol. And, whichever direction
they take, it still sounds fantastic.
