À une semaine de la sortie de « Crawler », Idles balance un nouveau single nommé « Car Crash ». Vous verrez ainsi que le prochain album ne sera forcément pas celui que vos attendez. À propos du titre, Joe Talbot explique qu’il fait suite à un accident qu’il a lui-même vécu :
« It’s the horrific, comedown hangover – waking up in the morning and realising the smashes, like, what the fuck am I doing with my life?”
Mark Bowen, remuant guitariste moustachu expliquant :
« We wanted it to be as violent as possible to reflect that event. We recorded the drums beforehand and put them on a vinyl acetate. Whenever you replay an acetate, because it is kind of like a liquid, it degrades every time.
“It touches on things being transient and momentary — even a single drum hit. It’s like a memory, when the moment has passed and you deal with the repercussions over and over again, and they morph and change into something else. »
