IDLES share new single 'Mr. Motivator'

After returning to share their previously shared singles 'Mercedes Marxist' and 'I Dream Guillotine' near the end of last year, IDLES are back once again to unveil a brand new cut.

The new track 'Mr. Motivator' was originally pitched as a workout video from bass player Dev, but instead they chose to surprise their fans with this stomping new record.

Speaking about their new offering, frontman Joe Talbot said, "We want to start this journey with a means to not only encapsulate the album’s sentiment, but to encourage our audience to dance like no one is watching and plough through these dark times with a two tonne machete of a song and the most beautiful community of scumbags ever assembled. Let’s go. All is love.”

'Mr. Motivator' is set to feature on their soon-to-be-announced third studio LP, and you can watch the new video for it in the player below.
