IDLES enlist Coldplay's Chris Martin for their new deepfake video for 'GRACE'
New album 'TANGK' is set to drop this Friday (16th February)
IDLES have shared a video for 'GRACE', ahead of the release of new album 'TANGK', set to arrive this Friday, 16th February.
The concept of the video - which features a deepfaked version of Coldplay's 'Yellow' video, complete with Chris Martin singing 'Grace' - came to frontman Joe Talbot in a dream. He then spoke to Martin about the idea, not only getting the Coldplay frontman's blessing but also his involvement in helping train the AI to make the vocal performance look more realistic.

The band recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and have now returned to the UK for a pop-up shop in Shoreditch and a series of special shows in Kingston, London and Bristol to celebrate the release of 'TANGK'.
'TANGK' follows up on 2021's 'CRAWLER', which saw the band gain their first GRAMMY nominations. It features previously shared singles 'Gift Horse' and 'Dancer', the latter of which featured guest backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem duo James Murphy and Nancy Whang.
IDLES are on the cover of the new March 2024 issue of Dork, out now. You can order a copy below.
