Scottish Fiction: The Best of Idlewild 1997-2007
by Roy Luckett
February 22nd, 2008
This is an example of a “best of” compilation that will give you a good sense of what Idlewild represents. These tracks reveal a transition from a post-punk indie approach to a more brainy pop sound. They have a sound reminiscent of R.E.M. on some tracks; I am not a huge R.E.M fan, but I liked this.
