IDLES: Joy As An Act Of Resistance
- When IDLES’ frontman Joe Talbot was sixteen, his mother suffered a stroke that paralysed her and Joe became her carer, up until she passed away, which was around the time their first record was released. Then, last year, Joe and his partner lost their newborn daughter, delivered stillborn. Knowing this is critical to understanding the nature and title of their new record Joy As An Act Of Resistance, which follows their 2017 debut, the aptly-titled Brutalism.
Terry: I'm Terry
- I’m Terry is the latest record from Melbourne quartet Terry. Always abstractly quotidian and unitary, together they inhabit the single undivided identity of Terry. Carpe Diem is an apt opener, a lyrical mediation on a rotation of borrowed Latin expressions, reflecting on the alienated routines and vocabulary of working life.
