10 Best IDLES Songs

1. June

This is the song that shows off the tender side to IDLES. It really hits different against the backing of the other songs and their energy. June opens with a church organ playing and quickly moves on to a solid bass drum beat with not much variance from it.

The song feels very personal and tells of a still-born child. It even features the flash fiction, often attributed to Stephen King, with the heartbreaking lyrics: "Baby Shoes, for sale, never worn." It’s haunting and induces tear every time. As Joe says through his lyrics - "dreams can be so cruel sometimes".

It’s a tough listen for any empathetic human and so out of keeping with their usual style that it HAS to go number 1.
