Idles frontman Joe Talbot has shared some more details on his upcoming supergroup with Jamie T and Willie J Healey, describing it as “an odd trio”.News of the potential collaboration first surfaced in an NME interview last year, when Talbot and Jamie spoke about going to see Florence + The Machine play at the O2, with Healey supporting.While they were watching on, Talbot turned to Jamie and asked if he wanted to start a soul band with him.And now, Talbot has fleshed out the details a little more, during an interview on the Midnight Chats podcast, which you can hear in full here.A post shared by Midnight Chats (@midnightchatspod)When asked by host Greg Cochrane if the soul record from the three of them is still on the cards, Talbot replied, “Yeah, Willie and I have met up and started writing stuff.”“Obviously, we hang out every week when we’re both in town [Bristol], ride our bikes together and do other things.

But we’re busy.”“I want to call the project Perros Perdidos – which means “Lost Dogs”. I don’t think they know that yet. I was like, that’s a sick name.

Then all our merch could be like lost dog posters. Sick, right?”“Yeah, so we’ve got ideas. I was at Jamie’s house quite a while ago now and we were talking about sampling and sampling this tune I love, and he just fucking got it up on YouTube, chucked it on his sample pad and I was like, ‘this has got to happen now’.”“I think because we’re all very different versions of the same beast.

We’re very different people all three of us,” he continued. “We’re an odd trio, but we have the same intention. And we have a lot of love, and we all connect with soul music.
