IDLES announce live album ‘A Beautiful Thing: IDLES Live At Le Bataclan’
The limited double LP is out on 6th December via Partisan Records.
Continuing to be absolute legends, IDLES have just announced that they’ll be releasing a new live album! Recorded at Le Bataclan, the limited edition double LP is out on 6th December via Partisan Records, and will contain a booklet designed by frontman Joe Talbot, featuring photographs from the show and a selection of poetry.
“Our show at Bataclan was the end of a very long journey for us,” Joe explains of the record. “On that tour we learnt so much about ourselves, each other and the audiences we have grown with over the past 10 years. That show was nothing short of catharsis and nothing more than love. We love what we do and the people who have carried us here, there was no hiding that at Bataclan and we are so very grateful that the moment was captured in all its glory, love and fatigue. Long live the open minded and long live the moment.”
