Joy As an Act of Resistance is the sophomore LP from Bristol band IDLES and the follow-up to 2017's Brutalism. "This album is an attempt to be vulnerable to our audience and to encourage vulnerability; a mere brave naked smile in this shitty new world. We have stripped back the songs and the lyrics to our bare flesh to allow each other to breathe, and to celebrate our differences and act as an ode to communities and the individuals that forge them," the band relays. "Because without our community, we'd be nothing."
