"The Beachland Ballroom" was the flare Idles sent up for CRAWLER. The British band put it out on 28 September 2021, the same day they unveiled the album, their fourth, and it had the stage to itself for a spell before "Car Crash" followed it out ahead of the record's 12 November release.
It was made in a tight circle: Kenny Beats and Mark Bowen produced and recorded it, Craig Silvey mixed with Dani Bennett-Spragg assisting, and the songwriting credit is shared five ways by Jon Beavis, Bowen, Adam Devonshire, Lee Kiernan and frontman Joe Talbot. The album it heralded drew favourable reviews and, down the line, a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
