"A Grateful Dead-like grace which could be their best work so far."
- The Independent
"...their best album yet." - The Times
“…a genre-traversing, surprising, melodic, poetic, anthemic record with heart, smarts and soul.”
- Drowned in Sound
Idlewild have announced a host of festival dates for 2015, including the iconic Glastonbury Festival and T In the Park.
The band have had an amazing year so far, with album Everything Ever Written reaching number 20 in the UK Charts and gaining a spot on the SAY Awards longlist.

Canadian actor Jay Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon, This Is The End, Robocop) was also invited to star in the video for Every Little Means Trust, the third single taken from the album, after the band discovered he was a longtime fan.
