With it, came critical praise, an album in the top 20, and the band selling out venues as large as they ever had. With new members&nbsp;Luciano Rossi&nbsp;and&nbsp;Andrew Mitchell&nbsp;on board,&nbsp;Roddy Woomble, guitarist&nbsp;Rod Jones&nbsp;and drummer&nbsp;Colin Newton&nbsp;felt a renewed sense of purpose. So much so that the week that&nbsp;&#8216;Everything Ever Written&#8217;&nbsp;was released, they were already back at the drawing board to start work on what would become the bold step sidewards, forthcoming album&nbsp;&#8216;Interview Music&#8217;. Inspired, they later decamped at the end at the end of a US tour in 2016 to Los Angeles to flesh out their ideas, but it would be some years before they set themselves up at Jones&#8217; own Edinburgh studio to finish the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <em>&#8220;A lot of the songs are about dreams and dreaming and the thoughts and ideas that come from this state,&#8221;<\/em> says Woomble. <em>&#8220;I live in the Scottish Highlands, and between there and California you&#8217;ve got two locations that can put you in a dream like state \u2013 driving down Sunset Boulevard as the sun sets or driving over the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula as the sun rises. The world seems unreal, magical. You&#8217;re dreaming through a landscape.&#8221;<\/em> Before finishing the album, the band performed a run of shows to celebrate the anniversary for their seminal record&nbsp;&#8216;The Remote Part&#8217;. One of those shows would see them meet up once again with the producer of that record and&nbsp;&#8216;100 Broken Windows,&#8217;&nbsp;Dave Eringa, who would provide Idlewild with the grounding they needed to finish&nbsp;&#8216;Interview Music&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Dave produced five songs on the album, but also brought a focus back to the band, and actually made us finish it!&#8221;<\/em> admits Woomble <em>&#8220;He made it sound like us,&#8221;This is no more apparent than on opener&nbsp;Dream Variations; with its echoing, fever-dream melody, chiming fizzing riff, and vocal harmonies, before taking a surprise left-turn and drifting into a waltz-like trance. Much like the rest of the record, it has the indie-rock DNA of the band, but mutated in new and strange ways.&nbsp;I Almost Didn&#8217;t Notice and Mount Analogue make for record&#8217;s centre-pieces as playful, adventurous and strange \u2013 driven by abandon but still loyal to all that you want from Idlewild; not least for Woomble&#8217;s lyrics. Here you&#8217;ll find another tapestry of riddles written to &#8220;celebrate vagueness&#8221;<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;What&#8217;s really important about Idlewild is that we are basically punk rock kids,&#8221;<\/em> concludes Woomble. <em>&#8220;No one ever taught us how to play anything. We formed a band and we learned. In our own way.&nbsp;We were inspired by the bands we saw just getting up on stage, making a noise and exchanging ideas, and trying to change your ideas. That&#8217;s principally what the band still do. I&#8217;m not a kid rolling around screaming into a microphone on the floor anymore, but that ideal is still at our core.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Catch&nbsp;Idlewild live on the&nbsp;following dates:<\/strong><br>19th April &#8211; Grand Central Hall &#8211; Liverpool<br>20th April &#8211; Anson Rooms &#8211; Bristol<br>22nd April &#8211; Phoenix &#8211; Exeter<br>23rd April &#8211; Engine Rooms &#8211; Southampton<br>25th April &#8211; Beckett Uni &#8211; Leeds<br>26th April &#8211; o2 Forum &#8211; London<br>28th April &#8211; o2 Institute &#8211; Birmingham<br>29th April &#8211; o2 Ritz &#8211; Manchester<br>30th April &#8211; Waterfront &#8211; Norwich<br>1st May &#8211; Junction &#8211; Cambridge<br>2nd May &#8211; Riverside &#8211; Newcastle<br>4th May &#8211; Barrowland Ballrom &#8211; Glasgow<br>5th May &#8211; Music Hall &#8211; Aberdeen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Following on from their recent announcement of their new album &#8216;Interview Music,&#8217;&nbsp;Idlewild have unveiled their second single,&nbsp;Same Things Twice.
