![]() We were trying to sustain the success of 'Brutalism', to basically remake it. Singer Joe Talbot stated "This album is an attempt to be vulnerable to our audience and to encourage vulnerability a brave naked smile in this shitty new world." Īccording to Talbot "lots of songs got scrapped because there was this pressure, which we were carrying but not talking about. The band started recording the album in 2017. To promote the record, the band toured across Japan, North America, and Europe. Joy as an Act of Resistance peaked at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and spawned two official singles: " Danny Nedelko" and " Never Fight a Man with a Perm". The album garnered critical acclaim from critics. Taking inspiration from the similarly titled 2008 poem by Toi Derricotte, Joy as an Act of Resistance tells stories from Joe Talbot's troubled past and lyrics that deal with toxic masculinity, love, self-love, immigration, Brexit, and class. Following the success of their debut album Brutalism, the band started recording new material for their next album. Joy as an Act of Resistance is the second studio album by British rock band Idles, released on 31 August 2018 by Partisan Records.
