LYRICS:
Hold the phone
Hip to hip
Cheek to cheek
Push me away like I’m Lucifer
So to speak
My focus is on
The cocoa butter
running down your neck
And the sweat
Feet touch
Brush hands
Feather’s ache
We can swing if you prefer
So to speak
My breath
Moves your hair At a glance
In a round
Like a pirouette
And the sweat
I give myself to you
As long as you move
On the floor
Collide us as we work it out
Shoulders back
Chest out
Im poised
Like a god damn ape
So to speak
I can taste the mood
In my mouth
Like particles of punch drunk love
And the sweat
Bold moves
Ice rink
Lines cut
from the moves they make
So to speak
Somebody tell me where I go
Like a god damn homing dove
And the sweat
I give myself to you
As long as we move
On the floor
Collide us as we work it out
Make waves
Cut changes
Crop circles in my cage
Cut waves
Make change
Crop circles in my cage
I’m a dancer
You’re a dancer
Let’s dance.

'Dancer' from the new album, TANGK, out now on Partisan Records: IDLES.lnk.to/TANGK/IDLES

[@mickdoddsphotography7632]

Pre ordered all the editions in Aus

[@dan_o_saur]

WELL DONE!!!!!!! amore amore babes ;-)

[@cheekibreeki6321]

I’m actually astonished at the absolute production quality of this video, all of the camera work is incredible. The editing is fantastic especially when you guys are in the studio with that ghosting affect. The song itself is something I’m going to be addicted to for years to come. Fucking incredible, the team who worked on the video should receive awards. Seriously well fucking done. God of this video were a woman I’d be having fucking heart palpitations just looking at it. Thank you for incredible release, looking forward to the next album.

Too true!

LITERALLY ME

[@ELSIK2]

Me too

[@Mercury-Wells]

Well done for getting on board early. I only just found these guys.

[@krippenknittle]

I was given the wonderful gift of an introduction to the music of Idles, by a caregiver just before she left - my wheelchair has not stopped bouncing since! I don't know what your goals were, when you decided to start a band and give it a go, guys. But your sort of 'aggressive acceptance' and your music have absolutely changed the outlook and life of a person in a wheelchair, in a rural town in Vermont, US; who doesn't leave her house. You reached in here, into this isolation, and reminded me that I'm still alive. Thank you!

[@onionelbow7917]

I am also bouncing to them in Vermont!

[@pathetictoiling]

I was in Vermont too when I discovered them, was super depressed and they pulled me out. Lovely stuff.

[@krippenknittle]

Alright, woodchuckers!!🙌🏻

[@bubblegum1647]

you matter, you are loved, im so glad music makes you feel alive

[@gastonortigoza22]

this is a fucking banger, so to speak

[@alexkuhn5078]

And the sweat

[@werdnayam]

My focus is on the cocoa butter

[@michaels.8388]

I lately listened to this album and one track really caught my attention: It was when the album was over and spotify startet playing "aint no thief" by Viagra Boys. Thats sums up my opinion on this album.

[@SMBH-M87]

IDLES and LCD Soundsystem is the collaboration we never knew we needed.

[@dirtydantthepondboglim]

This.

[@HHNOI]

What is it about this group of gentlemen seriously not being able to disappoint? Every IDLES release up until now is imperfect perfection and raw joy! This is seriously good music.

[@TheMrCheezlezombie]

Bro for real, i don't know if i could love this band more.

I am 71 years old and I am obsessed with this song. I dance all over the house with this blasting.

[@randomtransportguyx4397]

Nice one. Love to see people in this community of all ages

[@brianballa3086]

do you have a cactus in the corner sir?

[@tt999ful]

That s amazing!

[@jodegauthier2984]

I'm in my 40s. Idles have brought the cheeky melodic sounds of Crass, Flux, Subhumans, Chumbawamba (If you know, you know), and so many others from that era.

[@jis87BE]

And I'm 112 and I'm dancing my socks off on the table atm...

[@greedypresents7923]

Has now been on repeat for 3 days and counting. AND THE SWEAT!!!!

[@theNewCruelty]

SO TO SPEAK!

[@barmouthbridge8772]

Justin from The Darkness focused on The sweat but I found the So to Speak hook equally affecting.

[@serafinr]

I'm on day one...

[@tomasa-m5643]

Aggressive Dancing. Violent movement. Compulsive. Infectious. Dogmatic rhythm. It's like when you're left alone to your own devices and just give into your own personal, primal instincts. I think that's what the Music Video's trying to capture. Each of these dancers is alone, but acting out their own comulsions to move to the beat. And through the lyrics, they're all dancing "cheek to cheek" with one another, though seperated by distance, united like a warband in their expression of love. Love, after all, is the Fing.

[@RollerOfEyes]

listening to this makes me wanna get a life. in the meantime ill primally dance 'cheek to cheek' but alone.

[@marcusroot168]

That bassline has been in my bloodstream since they teased it. I got a fever.

[@jontyutd]

More Cowbell ??🤔

[@henryve5625]

The bassline?

[@georgykrasnokutskiy9280]

tbh the only thing I loved about the song

[@UGLY-MONEY17]

I fucking love it. Them and Viagra Boys are very good at coming up with those doom bringing baselines

[@henryve5625]

Half of the bassline is guitar

[@jeannecarrick7199]

The creepy dance with the chest hair peeking out the suit as the sweaty bassist stares predatorally into my soul is the best thing I've seen.

[@YaBigGaymo]

I cannot stop listening to this it's so aggressively unique and fascinating. I just love it.

[@rxgueplanet]

To bad the lead singer is a woke turd 😔

[@greyart8]

Try De Staat if you liked this one, mate.

[@Leo-qe3gl]

I love the aggressiveness😊

[@GerardtHoofd]

It is a matter of punk!

[@McShag420]

Perfect description of Idles!

[@LilSayo]

I am obsessed with how charismatic everyone is in this video, I've been listening to this song on repeat for a week now

[@patricksimnor6589]

Ive danced hard to IDLES many times alone at work or while cooking or something. These guys know their audience.

[@davidgutierrez3888]

Talbot said in an Idles concert in Mexico: "You are loved, there is someone always that is proud of what have you achieved" i have sticked that in my mind since, and i feel good!!

[@tuskoh1214]

Joseph Talbot and this band inspired me to stay clean. Thank you IDLES

[@Moore4Georgia]

Congratulations!

[@TimTheHermit]

Heck yes. Stay strong!

[@rxgueplanet]

This is unintentionally the coolest band on the planet..

[@the_bezirksrat]

I discovered IDLES about a month ago. Haven’t listened to anything else since then. Absolutely brilliant Band with beautiful messages. As soon as they come to Austria again i am there! Best of wishes to everyone out there!

Oh my..I already imagine how they are gonna rock this one live. CANT WAIT

[@YFZ52]

My favourite thing about them is how awesome they sound and how much energy they bring to their live shows. This will go off so good live!

[@specteratthefeast9667]

I confirm this is even better live ❤️❤️❤️🔥

[@anastasiar.8727]

They did just that when they played it at the Oakland show. The whole room was mooooving

[@LeonardoDosAnjos1]

IDLES blow my mind. Because they manage to have a very identifiable style YET sounding original with every new thing they release. This song is the shit, well done

[@natashamolar1804]

I only got disappointed because it ended. Let’s go repeat! ❤️

Hope the best for you! IDLES!!

[@damon2085]

You're a dancer.

[@ed4165]

"I needed love. So I made it" from the announcement struck me directly in my heart. The Fall Shift is happening in the Midwest, and this song feels like a promise that we will all make it out of the dark and sad months together. Yall make incredible music and I am grateful. See yall on the other side in Feb!!

[@prettyaverage97]

IDLES, to me, is the definition of the word hopepunk. Kindness and love as a rebellious attitude. Joy as an act of resistance.

[@franki1990]

@@prettyaverage97 Haven't had a proper listen to them ever and now that's the exact message I got from this song and video. Sobbing while writing, powerful stuff for the good of the soul.

[@Hi-fd4cw]

Counterpoint, this time of year is just the best. Yes it’s melancholy but it’s in a comfortable sense. It’s not about “making it out” of these months, it’s about enjoying them and appreciating them while they’re still here. No other time of the year quite like this one

Absolutely love it!!❤My favorite part is when Joe pronounces: "Like a pirrrrrouette" EXTREMELY as always!🔥

[@Leo-qe3gl]

But you are a girl😮

[@hypermagical_ultraomnipotence]

I love how every IDLES album is distinctly it's own sound, I honestly wonder how purposeful it is (because if purposeful, it's brilliant). Hard to say you like a certain sequence of albums when each album is so coherently a sound and a vibe, or throw accusations of "Y'all sold out!" or whatever, because difference and change is the hallmark, to me. Can't wait to see what else comes from this album!

Okay, first of all, the album announcement and single is just what I needed this morning. Thank you so much, guys. This song rocks, and I can't wait for the album. ...and secondly, I don't know how the hell I'm going to be able to concentrate at work with Adam's hip-swinging hotness now stuck in my head. This is going to be a struggle.

[@ropesquid2085]

You really can hear the LCD Soundsystem influence in this during that euphoric chorus and that heavy, pensive guitar during the verse is so definitely IDLES' touch, and the effect is this electric mix where you feel like you're sizing the other person up before being pulled in close to fucking boogie It's the Dance Yrself Clean for a new era

[@markrivera3705]

Good time to be alive for great music!!!

[@JustinZymbaluk]
