IDLES talk letting love in – and who in the band is the best dancer

nme.com:

IDLES have been discussing bringing love into their lives, as well as revealing the band’s best dancer. Watch our video interview with the band above.Vocalist Joe Talbot and guitarist Mark Bowen took time out at Glastonbury last weekend to talk to NME – we gave their headline performance on The Other Stage five stars, too, describing it as a “a claim to headline the Pyramid in the future.”NME asked Talbot and Bowen how it feels to be in the band after releasing their fifth album ‘TANGK’ earlier this year and repeating the mantra “Love is the thing”.

Are IDLES now in a more loving place?“Absolutely,” Talbot replied. ”It’s a thing I chose to do. I was at a point in my life where I needed love.

Not necessarily romantic love, but I needed to bring that back into my narrative as a person on a daily basis. Obviously, I live this life as an artist, I’m singing the songs every day, and doing interviews and such.

It was a really healthy process to go through and talk about that. And it’s been therapeutic.“Literally, we look after each other more on stage and the audience dances now and they have this – there’s just a slightly new dynamic.
