Product Overview

Produced by Space, 'Joy As An Act Of Resistance' is the follow-up to 2017's 'Brutalism'
THE BRIEF – from Joe Talbot (singer of IDLES):
'Joy as An Act of Resistance' is a parade.
It's a parade of laughing at the funeral, of listening to the bastards, of phlegm on the mirror.
It's a parade of my Grandfather's wit, it is all the shit haircuts I've ever had.
It is a parade of naivety, of a warm embrace, it is Young Thug's dress.
It's the parade of being carried through the grim dark.
It's a parade of laughing at yourself. It is love. It is loving yourself.
It is a parade of Tony Benn's smile.
It is Idles, for now. It's the beautiful smell of immigrant food.
It is a parade of vulnerability. It is Ilia Nasties
It's a parade of being at your worst. It is our best, for now.
It is our thank you. It is our sorry.
It is a parade without fluff but with a tonne of glitter and violence.
It is a parade of what I truly miss and what I truly have.
It is a parade of the second album. It is us cutting its fucking head off.
It is a parade of joy in the face of all we don't want and all we fear.
It is a parade of you.
Thank You.
