Fuck the fishbowl
IDLES continue the campaign for their third album Ultra Mono. 'Model Village' is the third single taken from the forthcoming LP and arrives this evening with a charming video.

All anxious, driving guitars and the gutteral yelp of Joe Talbot, the single is pure IDLES - and yet, there's something of a new devotion to lightness in its vocal playfulness and repetition.
The adjoining video is great: a painstaking project created by Michel and Olivier Gondry:
Joe Talbot said of the song's themes: “I hated growing up in a city that was really a town that was really a fishbowl. I left as soon as I could, only to realize the fishbowl didn't exist...just the fish, and they're everywhere.”
