IDLES, known for their critically acclaimed albums Brutalism and Joy as an Act of Resistance, have released their highly anticipated third album, Ultra Mono. With a sound reminiscent of a hip-hop record, the album continues the band’s tradition of sharp social commentary and raw energy. Beneath the surface of their bold statements lies a complex and relevant work of art. Ultra Mono is a moment of self-acceptance packaged in aggressive punk sound. The tracklist includes songs like “Grounds,” “Mr. Motivator,” and “Model Village.” This album is a powerful statement from a band unafraid to challenge the status quo.
