intro
Download and heavily limited one sided 7 inch vinyl only from Idlewild, their first on their new label Sanctuary
Idlewild return on a new label after having left Parlophone. Only released on download and one sided etched 7 inch vinyl which has been limited to 750 copies only, 'If It Takes You Home' is a return to their raw 'Captain' sound, Jangling guitars which travel at 100 miles an hour and a harmony-based vocal from Roddy Woomble are backed by wild, thrashy, full-on drums. It is nice to have them back.
