Idlewild Line Up Spring Release For New Album 'Interview Music' And Plot Accompanying Tour Dates
Friday, 08 February 2019
Written by Jon Stickler
Idlewild have announced the release of their first album in four years.
The Scottish band will put out 'Interview Music' on April 5, following up 2015's 'Everything Ever Written', which was recorded after a lengthy hiatus. The band slipped away to Los Angeles to flesh out ideas for album number eight before returning to their hometown of Edinburgh to complete it at guitarist Rod Jones' own studio. Vocalist Roody Woomble said:
"A lot of the songs are about dreams and dreaming and the thoughts and ideas that come from this state. I live in the Scottish Highlands, and between there and California you’ve got two locations that can put you in a dream like state – driving down Sunset Boulevard as the sun sets or driving over the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula as the sun rises. The world seems unreal, magical. You’re dreaming through a landscape."
To celebrate the news, the band have shared the album's cover art, tracklist and first single, Dream Variations. They'll also tour the UK shortly after the release, with tickets on general sale at 10am on February 15.

1. Dream Variations
