IDLES have debuted a new video for 'Crawl!'

IDLES have dropped a video for 'Crawl!'.

The track is taken from last year's album 'CRAWLER', and comes as the band announce some new dates in North America later this year.

Speaking about 'Crawl!', which deals with the realities of addiction and the process of recovery, frontman Joe Talbot explains “this is the turning point, after you’ve crashed. It’s a good anthem for me to discuss with people who aren’t on the other side or who aren’t sober. You're not the best version of you and you need to hold yourself accountable for your addictions and who you’re letting down. But it doesn't mean you're a bad person. “Crawl” the title is like, keep going. You'll get there. “Crawler” is like the character of me in the dark warmth of my addiction — a crawler, a night crawler, someone on their knees, someone praying, someone surviving. The grit of it. The weight of the world on you. All of those things is a “crawler.”

Mark Bowen continues “If you're being forced to crawl, you’ve surrendered to the notion that you can't get up and run or walk. You're having to surrender your hands and knees to the process of moving forward. Joe was dealing with a lot of these traumas and things going on in his life, and one of the ways he was dealing with them was with drugs and alcohol. He wasn’t able to walk, run or deal with it, so he had to crawl through it. It’s the first track on the album where you see the defiance of that this is what I am. I’m pretty shit at some things and pretty good at other things, but I’m all me. This is the real turning point on the album, where there’s a self-realization and defiance.”
