Once described by the NME as "the sound of a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs" Idlewild's sound has matured to a different, sweeping melodic rock sound as displayed on 'The Remote Part'. Idlewild are a truly independent band, in that they do not fit into any specific scene, though their sound has clearly been influenced by bands like Fugazi, early Pixies and more recently R.E.M..With only occasional breaks to work on follow up albums, Idlewild are consistently at the top of their game
