Album of the Week: ‘CRAWLER’ by IDLES – Week of 11/15/2021

British rockers IDLES return this week with their highly anticipated 4th studio album CRAWLER. It nabs Album of the Week honors this week.

The band continues to push the boundaries of their sound, but also manage to niche down – the perfect formula to please fans old and new. Upon the first few listens, the album sounds more like their critically-acclaimed debut Brutalism, more so than their last album release, 2020’s Ultra Mono. This album sounds bigger than either of the former albums, however. What are your favorite songs on the new album? Sound off in the comments.
