About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Long after the time most bands stagnate, split or get too comfortable to care much either way, Idlewild prove one rule certainly doesn’t suit all. Nearly twelve years after they formed in Edinburgh, the band are still evolving, still taking risks and pushing the boundaries of what they want to create. They have a new label, a new band member and a new album, ‘Make Another World’, that bristles with taut melodies, guitars that say more than a thousand words ever could, and keen lyrical observations of a world where we all exist, however briefly or unwittingly, in each other’s lives. It is an album that knows the simplest line or the shortest song can have the greatest impact, that realises sometimes less can be a whole lot more. An album that proves Idlewild remain vital, inspired and absolutely relevant.

While the passion and motivation remain ultimately the same, Idlewild have still come a long way from the party in a student flat where they met in 1995.
