Ready to WAKE-the-hell-UP? We’ve got it covered with IDLES’ latest dance-punk-extravaganza “Dancer.” It’s fun, funny, sleazy, sultry, and even features an assist from LCD Soundsystem (who strutted so IDLES can run). Also in the mix: upcoming School Night guest — R&B minimalist Zooey Celeste, another cut from Ana Tijoux’s forthcoming album La bala (it’s been almost a decade since her last LP), and Barrie’s chilling new single “Hard Candy.”
