Funnily enough I just heard the new tune and lol’d because it is a bit ‘indie landfill’ but it’s bloody good though.
Very summery.

The word insurrection and the winking tongue out smiley weren’t enough to flag my lack of seriousness? Ok then, will up my game

Admittedly I’m not huge on in… oh wait actually it’s actually just the “rock” part
20s wouldn’t be my go-to era either way
this band have a post-punk infusion which can sometimes save but not in this instance. This is just Irish IDLES to me. Both are complete snoozefests

I hear a bit of weddoes in the new one, might be the breathy delivery of the byline. I’m all for the change though, think another album of moody indie punk runs the risk of going a bit stale

'This is just Irish IDLES to me.'
I think at this stage they're very different sounding and on very VERY different career trajectories. Idles are more superficial, more soundbite'y, and they're pretty much done. They tried to right the ship going more 'arty' this year with 'proper' singing and Godrich at the helm but that didn't really work. I'm not sure these have reached their peak, with this brighter more polished style I imagine the new one could be their most successful yet.
These lads are channelling all the right stuff and have a unique enough voice too, plus they have a 'hottest ticket in town' rep so must deliver live - though I've missed out on catching them so far.

i saw them WITH idles during the dogrel era and they were good, haven't enjoyed their material since as much though

That period would have been where the two bands sounds aligned the most.

I agree that idles is pretty much done, their last album was very disappointing. However, I read that it was also their most successful, so whether fontaines dc releases a popular well-selling album is not of importance to me. I just hope that the direction they’ll go from here will not be full of compromises, and they’ll surprise us with some great tunes.

“Idles are more superficial, more soundbite'y, and they're pretty much done”
Oh yeah… I think this is right, was just going for a soundbite me self there to be honest. Idles suck
I suppose all modern indie rock does sound the same to me after all

Idles don’t help themselves by being a bunch of students rather than a gang

"This is just Irish IDLES to me."
I don't think the bands have much in common really. Also fontaines are really good and idles are very mid

Like Sinead O’Conner v Sonia

"This is just Irish IDLES to me."

Who's doing ukulele-indie apart from Amanda Palmer? Just to know who to avoid.
Ukulele is the pan flute of indie, agreed.
