I discovered my brand of brit rock from a jukebox while working at Me-N-Ed’s one night back during my post adolescence. The tracks Little Discourage & Roseability were ones I’d purchase for rotation while waiting for the next “hot D!” hollered out from the kitchen.
It was quite literally the most obscure location to discover an emerging indie talent out of Scotland.
Two decades of music and here’s 13 mandatory listens from Idlewild:
13 | post electric
post electric blues
12 | no emotion
make another world
11 | every little means trust
everything ever written
10 | roseability
100 broken windows
9 | you held the world in your arms
the remote part
8 | a film for the future
hope is important
7 | not just sometimes but always
warnings/promises
6 | satan polaroid
a distant history: rarities 1997-2007
5 | a modern way of letting go
the remote part
4 | these wooden ideas
100 broken windows
3 | little discourage
100 broken windows
2 | a ghost in the arcade
make another world
1 | american english
the remote part
Love this band. Nice list
Cheers 🍻
