Idles have announced their new album Tangk, which is out February 16 via Partisan. The album was co-produced by Idles member Mark Bowen with Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich and hip-hop producer Kenny Beats.

Idles frontman Joe Talbot said of the album in a statement, “TANGK. I needed love. So I made it. I 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.” Tangk follows their 2021 album Crawler.

Watch the video for their new song “Dancer,” which features vocals from LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang, below. Along with the release, the band dropped this statement:

Dancer is the violence that comes from the pounding heart of the dancefloor and rushes through your body and gives you life from music, from love and from you.
