Idlewild’s latest single ‘Utopia’ out now!
"A Greatful 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 are bookending a successful 2015 with the release of their final single of the year, Utopia, out now via Empty Words. The single is taken from their album Everything Ever Written, which hit the top 20 in the UK Album Chart earlier this year.
Appearing at the very end of the album, Utopia features a heartfelt piano melody rippling throughout the song as layers of sound echo around Roddy Woomble’s vocals. It draws a line under 2015 with many fans old and new embracing the band more warmly than ever. You can stream the track now via Soundcloud.
The band are also set to release their first ever live album, Live in 2015, due for release on 19th February 2016. The double album will feature electric and acoustic tracks recorded throughout the band’s UK tour this November and December.
The album will be available on vinyl, CD and high quality digital formats. Vinyl and CDs will be exclusively available via PledgeMusic.
