Biography

Idlewild
Post-Electric Blues
"We've never really fitted in..." - Roddy Woomble
"A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have
time to modify his shape." - Mark Twain
When the coke-shrivelled testicles of Brit-pop were still in full-swing, Idlewild were
dropping out of art school and ingesting Fugazi, Superchunk "...and all those small
bands on American indie-rock… Read more in Amazon's Idlewild Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

While nearly every other British band miraculously morphs into Coldplay, Idlewild (who actually supported Chris Martin's group on a world tour) have no such aspirations. On its fourth release, the Scottish quartet's main concern remains the same as ever--finding the delicate balance between Sonic Youth's alternative-tuned dissonance and R.E.M.'s literary eloquence. Warnings/Promises is a step closer, matching singer Roddy Woomble's imitable poetry ("You compare me to a shadow/ Which in itself is some kind of victory") with frequent amplifier blowing squawks and mighty big choruses such as "Love Steals Us From Loneliness" and "I Want A Warning." Produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Supergrass) it captures the band on the verge of something great. --Aidin Vaziri

Product Description

Preceded by a string of intimate acoustic gigs aimed at showcasing the new songs to fans, Warnings/Promises is one of the most anticipated albums of 2005. And it’s definitely worth waiting for. Produced by Tony Hoffer (Air, Beck, The Thrills) and recorded in Los Angeles, the fourth full-length work from Idlewild alternates acoustic numbers with heavier tacks. EMI. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warnings/Promises - Idlewild, May 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WARNINGS/PROMISES (Audio CD)
I feel in love with Idlewild after Pandora introduced me to them and I now own all their albums.

This is one of their better albums having many songs I had not yet heard but are very good.

If you have not heard these guys yet give them a try; you might be surprised how good a band that has been around in Europe for 15 years is a great find.
