Scottish indie icons Idlewild will officially release their sixth full-length studio album, Post Electric Blues, on October 5th through Cooking Vinyl records. The release will include two bonus tracks: “Take Away the Night Time” and a demo version of album closer “Take Me Back In Time” – both of which will be available to download upon purchase.
The album’s first single, “Readers & Writers”, will be released digitally on September 28th, with an accompanying demo version of harmony-filled album highlight, “(The Night Will) Bring You Back to Life”.
