Video: IDLES Share 'Grace' Video Inspired By Coldplay's 'Yellow'

IDLES have shared the official music video for “Grace'' ahead of their fifth studio album TANGK, dropping this Friday Feb 16. The concept for the video came to IDLES frontman Joe Talbot in a dream. It's effectively a recreation of Coldplay's iconic “Yellow” video, but with deepfake AI tech used to give the impression that Chris Martin is instead singing “Grace”. 

Joe spoke to Chris about the idea shortly after his dream, and the Coldplay frontman not only gave his blessing to make the idea a reality, but also later helped to train the AI to make his vocal performance look more realistic.

After a whirlwind few days in New York last week where the band stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to deliver another iconic performance, IDLES are now back on home soil in the UK for their album pop up shop in Shoreditch and a weekend of special shows in London and Bristol to celebrate TANGK's release. 

Previous singles “Gift Horse” and “Dancer” the song which featured guest backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem duo James Murphy and Nancy Whang are out now.

Extending an explosive run of unerringly stirring albums, TANGK is this band's most ambitious and striking record yet, and is available to pre-order HERE. Set to be released via Partisan Records, it follows IDLES' 2021 album CRAWLER which led to their first two GRAMMY Award nominations. Additionally, IDLES' 2024 world tour has kept on expanding, including a newly announced show at Forest Hills in New York. All dates are selling quickly and listed below.
