Product Description
by Joe Talbot (Author), Magda Archer (Illustrator)
"I want to move into a Bovis home and make a list of everything I own. And ride into the amber setting sun, marching to the beat of someone's drum. I'm done" --IDLES, "Heel/Heal"
In this celebration and reinterpretation of IDLES' critically acclaimed first album, Brutalism (2017), Magda Archer's artwork enters a joyful and liberating shouting match with Joe Talbot's lyrics to create an explosive, emotive, comedically sardonic, and inspiring collaboration between two like-minded artists.
Typographic layouts inspired by the style of concrete poetry create a visual conversation between lyrics and illustrations on the page. IDLES' first-ever book marks a new and exciting form of creative collaboration for the band. Breathing a different kind of life into Talbot's fiery lyricism--with expressive typography, hot-pink ink, and Archer's unique artworks--IDLES x Magda Archer Brutalism shows that a book can be a work of art in itself.
