IDLES Share ‘Kill Them With Kindness’ Video

Directed and designed by James Carbutt, and animated by Pip Williamson...

IDLES have shared the cool new video for 'Kill Them With Kindness'.

The band's No. 1 album 'Ultra Mono' was released earlier this year, following by some scorching live streamed Abbey Road shows.

Album highlight 'Kill Them With Kindness' is a fan favourite, and it's now been given an animated visualiser.

Directed and designed by James Carbutt, the animation comes from Pip Williamson, and it spins the song in a fresh direction.

The director comments: "The dingy pub setting in the film is based on the Working Men’s Clubs of my hometown (Barnsley). It was nice to imagine IDLES bursting in and spreading a message of love."

"During our research we discovered that no two Wetherspoons carpets are the same, they are all unique like snowflakes, so yeah making this film was a wild ride."

Tune in now.
