Debut studio album by the British punk rock group IDLES, "Brutalism" is a politically charged, confrontational, and volatile record that captures the raw intensity of the band's live performances. Singer Joseph Talbot's lyrics are delivered with spite, urgency, and wry humor, shaped profoundly by personal loss and social critique. The album was deeply influenced by the death of Talbot's mother, who is pictured on the cover alongside a sculpture created by Talbot and his father. Her passing during the recording process became a central emotional force in the album's creation, with Talbot stating, "She was that album. That's why she was on the cover." A powerful indictment of modern culture and societal decay, "Brutalism" confronts issues ranging from the NHS to the erosion of public services in Britain.
