Earlier this year Idlewild returned to release their seventh album Everything Ever Written and with the year coming to a close, the band are bookending a successful 2015 with the release of single Utopia on November 27th.
Currently in the middle of a 16 date world tour, covering the UK, USA and Japan, with The Jaguar Club joining them as support on the US leg, the band have had an amazing year so far, with album Everything Ever Written reaching number 20 in the UK Charts.

A mix of haunting piano, echoing guitar and Roddy Woomble’s wistful lyrics, Utopia is a perfect track to close out what has been an incredible return to form for a band that continues to develop and grow into new musical horizons.
Canadian actor Jay Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon, This Is The End, Robocop) was invited earlier this year to star in the video for Every Little Means Trust, the third single taken from the album, after the band discovered he was a longtime fan.
