Idlewild have announced details of their first new album in six years. The Edinburgh quintet's self-titled tenth album will emerge on October 3 via V2 Records. And, as a preview of what's to come, the group have shared the record's first single, the anthemic Stay Out Of Place.
Commenting on the single, frontman Roddy Woomble says, "Walt Whitman was right, we do contain ‘multitudes’ – there is more than one 'us' in there – we’re choosing a voice from among the many voices. This is especially interesting in a band context, because it's not just one voice, but five voices collaborating, over time.
"We arrange the world in our own order, but sometimes you’ve got to shake up expectations and forget about the instructions - I suppose that's what I'm getting at with Stay Out Of Place. It felt like a good starting point and (re)introduction to Idlewild 2025."
