IDLES returned earlier this year with aptly-titled comeback single ‘Colossus’, before sharing follow-up ‘Danny Nedelko’ and details of second album ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’.

The band have now returned with a video for the album’s next preview, ‘Samaritans’. As insistent as ever, the band tackle the subject of toxic masculinity and how it affects all of our lives.

“There’s been a long line of bullshit that has pushed men into a corner, where simple masking becomes a trope of masculinity and a catalyst for insanity,” the band’s vocalist Joe Talbot says of the song.

“What we wear, what we eat, what razor we use, high performance chewing gum, go faster shampoo, how we treat women, how we treat ourselves, how we die. I truly believe that masculinity has gone from an evolution of cultural praxis to a disease. I wanted to encourage a conversation about gender roles by writing this song.”

IDLES are set to spend the rest of the year on tour supporting the new record - out 31st August via Partisan Records - and play next weekend’s Bestival as well as the DIY stage at Scotland’s Electric Fields on the first weekend of September.
