A striking and thought-provoking collaboration between IDLES
frontman Joe Talbot and artist Magda Archer, containing all the
lyrics from IDLES' first album Brutalism alongside provocative
artwork by Archer. Toxic masculinity. Class divisions. Mental
health. Bristol-formed band IDLES started recording their first
album, Brutalism, in 2015. In the two years that followed, frontman
Joe Talbot’s mother passed away, resulting in a turbulent state
of grief that would come to shape the verbally blazon and
emotionally raw album that then appeared in 2017. In the five years
since the release of Brutalism, Talbot’s words, in the context of
the band’s music, have grown to represent a liberated show of
vulnerability and an aggressive response to the societal
‘masculine’ ideal of silencing and withholding emotion.
IDLES’ first ever book marks a new and exciting form of creative
collaboration for the band. Magda Archer’s artwork enters a
joyful and liberating shouting match with Talbot’s lyrics
breathing a different kind of life into fiery lyricism – an
unexpected and bold conversation between two like-minded artists.
