Ultra Mono: Limited Deluxe Vinyl LP
Ultra Mono on black vinyl. Limited edition gatefold packaging with 28 page debossed Ultra Mono catalogue.
If IDLES' second album, āJoy As An Act of Resistanceā, was meant to detail the bandās manifesto, then bandās highly anticipated third album ā āUltra Monoā - is the sound of IDLES heading into battle, battering ram in hand, for those tenets. Sonically constructed to capture the feeling of a hip-hop record (Kenny Beats even helped with programming on several tracks), the songs double down on the vitriolic sneer and blunt social commentary of their past work. Not far beneath the surface of their self-admitted sloganeering lies a deeply complex and brutally relevant album that chews up clichĆ©s and spits them out as high art for the masses. Active presence and self-acceptance also stand at the core of āUltra Mono,ā with much of the songwriting done on-the-spot in the recording booth, and the phrase āI am Iā serving as a lyrical and spiritual mantra throughout.
Ultimately āUltra Monoā is a celebration of community, one that IDLES have been striving to build upon since their start, something bigger than themselves. As their audience grows, new fans continue to come from a sense of not belonging, together creating a diverse congregation of people that are making each other belong.
