IDLES have announced a new album, TANGK, and shared its first single, “Dancer,” via a music video. TANGK is due out February 16, 2024 via Partisan. Jocelyn Anquetil directed the “Dancer” video. Watch it below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.

LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang contribute guest vocals to “Dancer.”

Frontman Joe Talbot had this to say about the single in a press release: “‘Dancer’ is the violence that comes from the pounding heart of the dancefloor and rushes through your body and gives you life from music, from love and from you.”

Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, The Smile, Beck) and Kenny Beats (Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, Benee) co-produced TANGK with IDLES’ Mark Bowen. TANGK (which is simply pronounced as “tank”) follows CRAWLER, which was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2021.

Talbot had this to say about the new album: “TANGK. I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.”
