IDLES’ debut album Brutalism turns five this year and will be re-released with a special editon package. Entitled Five Years of Brutalism, it will see the record re-issued on limited cherry-red vinyl with alternative artwork. The digital package also features the entire set from their surprise performance from the BBC Introducing Stage at this year’s Glastonbury, which saw them performing the album in full.

Brutalism was originally self-released in March 2017, surpassing expectations to become one of the decade’s most important debut albums. Beneath the surface of its aggressive, foreboding music and lyrics lies a level of confessional vulnerability and honesty; with many of the songs highlighting the role of women in singer Joe Talbot’s life. It features key tracks including “Well Done”, “Mother”, “Divide & Conquer” and more.
