Tangk is the upcoming fifth studio album by British rock band Idles, scheduled to be released on 16 February 2024 through Partisan Records. It was co-produced by Kenny Beats, Nigel Godrich and Idles member Mark Bowen.[1] It has been preceded by the singles "Dancer"[2], "Grace"[3] and "Gift Horse"[4].

Background

Vocalist Joe Talbot said that he "needed love" so he "made it. [He] 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."[1] Talbot also explained that he wanted to "make people dance" and "feel the love that [he] need[s] in life", as well as wanting to make the music "infectious in a way that makes people feel, not think" and be "part of something electric again".[2] It was named Tangk for "the lashing way the band imagined the guitars sounding, that has grown into a sigil for living in love".[5]

The album was announced following the band's surprise show at the Village Underground in London on 17 October 2023.[6]

It will be supported by a world tour, which started on 1 December 2023 in Hong Kong, China, as a part of the Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival, and will end on 7 December 2024 at the O2 Apollo Manchester in Manchester, England.[7]
