Yeah, you heard it right. IDLES are back. Their new single 'Mr. Motivator' dropped this evening as a total surprise: it welcomes news that a third album will indeed arrive this very year. 

Sneaky buggers IDLES sent a mailer out at the weekend teasing an at-home workout with bassist Dev. Turns out, the premiere was really a guise for the surprise new single, which is "two tonne machete of a song" according to frontman Joe Talbot.

Yes. So much yes. 

Harnessing those quintessential supercharged riffs and Talbot’s unmistakeable growl, they instruct, “Let’s seize the day, all hold hands, chase the pricks away, you can do it.” 

Get your positivity back the fuck up with a listen to this slice of IDLES goodness:

There have been plenty of whispers of album three coming soon - and news that All Is Love group moderator Brian Mimipress had even heard the whole thing through - but with 'Mr. Motivator' we have sweet, sweet confirmation. 

Speaking about the track, Joe says: "We want to start this journey with a means to not only encapsulate the album’s sentiment, but to encourage our audience to dance like no one is watching and plough through these dark times with a two tonne machete of a song and the most beautiful community of scumbags ever assembled. Let’s go. All is love.”

More info on LP3 coming soon.
