IDLES, the fierce five-piece from Bristol, have been enjoying a lot of critical acclaim for their fifth album, TANGK. Within seconds of its release back in February, people were drawn to this song with its dark, gritty hip-hop groove. Frontman Joe Talbot describes it this way:
“It’s a song about the beauty of having a kid and understanding how lucky you are to have a kid. And there’s a sense of a cycle when you have a child, when you’ve lost a parent and a child. I have a very huge sense of gratitude and weight behind being a parent because of what I’ve lost. I’m not saying I’m a better parent, or more connected because of that. But for me, I’m more connected than I would have been, I think, because of what I’ve lost. I’ve learned a sense of just joy from seeing her joy. And I think that’s amazing. And powerful. And I’m very grateful.”
