TANGK is the fifth album from IDLES, a band of madcap truth - seekers. It's a righteous and vibrant record. Pronounced like 'tank' with a hint of the 'g', it's an onomatopoeic reference to the band's guitar sound, which has become a symbol of living in love. This is IDLES' most ambitious and striking work yet. Once focused on taking on the world's pretensions and dealing with personal trauma, they now offer love, joy, and gratitude. Co - produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and guitarist Mark Bowen, TANGK radiates a sense of defiant empowerment. Frontman Joe Talbot sings with hard - earned soul in these 10 songs, turning each vow or plea into a pop song for everyone to share. It's a love album for those who need to shout to fend off the void. Released on February 16th, 2024, via Partisan Records, it comes on limited edition translucent orange vinyl, in a single - sleeve jacket with a printed inner sleeve. Tracklist includes IDEA 01, Gift Horse, POP POP POP, and more.
To enjoy this TANGK vinyl LP, simply place it on your record player's turntable and use the tonearm to gently lower the needle onto the lead - in groove. Start from the beginning of the tracklist and let the music play. When you're done listening, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest position. Then, gently remove the vinyl from the turntable. Always handle the vinyl by its edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. Keep it in its single - sleeve jacket and printed inner sleeve when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Store the vinyl upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help maintain its sound quality and the translucency of the orange vinyl over time.
