I find their grandeur amazing and very refreshing. Also musically I think that they have created something new which is very rare these days. Then add in Abigail Morrisâs voice and itâs an uncontrollable burst of enthusiasm. From what I read they are blowing up the pop charts across the pond. I am not a fan of pop music, and I basically refer to it as pop trash. But not this pop band. Give this album a listen !!!

I stumbled upon Idles a few years ago and initially couldnât stand them. Their sound is very specific. Theyâre rowdy. Theyâre all over the place. Theyâre a wonderful anomaly in the music realm.
I liked this snippet from The Rolling Stonesâ review of their album, âDescribing the warm, fuzzy optimism of an Idles record requires only the most pretentious adjectives â ebullience, exultation, jubilation â words that Idles frontman Joe Talbot would likely laugh at heartily before offering a pint to anyone who said them.â
Itâs an album you can dance to, fight to, protest against police brutality to, celebrate the end of the British monarchy to â itâs resistance music if resistance music was played by good looking tattooed guys who occassionally wear dresses. I enjoy the songs Dancer (done with LCD Soundsystem) and Grace the most, but Gift Horse makes me want to riot in the streets and Pop Pop Pop needs a dance remix asap.
Enjoy it. And if you dislike it, youâre wrong. Thanks.

Iâve been into this band since 2017 & they inspired me so much back when I was in college. I was also listening to them right around when I was both getting into the concept of âmathyâ music and going to my local shows in NJ for the first time.
One of my most memorable shows was driving one of my newer friends to see Peaer on an autumn, Sunday night in a church recreational space, 40 minutes away on a super rainy night. The venueâs parking lot was gravel and next to the churchâs graveyard and there was probably 20-25 people total, including the bands.
And it was so worth it, hearing Peaer live finally and seeing their musicianship in person. I have a real love for bands that are trios of drums, bass, guitar & vox, how you can hear everyone individually, but also how just 3 people can create such a wall of sound together. It was so important for me to see them live at that age, and Iâm so glad I pushed myself to make the drive down there.
They havenât come out with music since 2019, an album called A Healthy Earth which I had on repeat religiously. So to have a new single from them with that same guitar tone, funky time changes but new formulas and ideas has been incredibly lovely.
Iâm thankful theyâre still around and continuing to create đ
