IDLES, the British rock band from Bristol, have released their Spotify Singles Session, featuring a cover of Little Simz’s “Mood Swings.” The band, consisting of Adam Devonshire, Joe Talbot, Mark Bowen, Lee Kiernan, and Jon Beavis, has been making waves since their debut album Brutalism (2017). IDLES are known for their energetic live performances and critically acclaimed albums, including securing the UK #1 position for their album TANGK.

Their latest release, following the success of TANGK, includes two tracks: a new version of their song “Roy” and a cover of Little Simz’s “Mood Swings.” 

The original “Mood Swings,” from her Drop 7 album combines introspective lyrics with a relaxed, yet dance-worthy beat. IDLES’ interpretation, however, infuses the track with a vibrant, clubby, and upbeat energy, transforming it into a lively anthem reminiscent of early 2000s club hits. A mash-up of Peaches’ “Fuck The Pain Away” and The Chemical Brothers’ “Elektrobank” is also in the song, creating a surprising and energizing mix. 

This release comes as IDLES get ready for a monumental year, highlighted by their upcoming headlining performance in Glastonbury on June 28th. Their extensive tour spans across North America, Europe, Japan, Mexico and Australia, further solidifying their global presence.
