IDLES stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday for a performance of their new song, “Gift Horse.”
The appearance comes one day after IDLES’ electrifying show at The Bowery Ballroom in New York, where vocalist Joe Talbot dedicated “Gift Horse” to his daughter. The Fallon performance was just as high-energy as IDLES’ usual live shows, and Talbot even changed the lyrics from “Fuck the king/ He ain’t the king, she’s the king” to “Fuck the king/ J Dilla is the king.” Watch their performance below.
IDLES are gearing up to release their fifth studio album, TANGK, on February 16th. “Gift Horse” is the album’s third single, and followed the slow jam “Grace” and the LCD Soundsystem-featuring “Dancer.” The band has mapped out a lengthy 2024 tour throughout the US and Europe; get tickets to all US shows via StubHub and all international shows on viagogo.
