“A lot of the songs are about dreams and dreaming and the thoughts and ideas that come from this state,” said frontman Roddy Woomble. “I live in the Scottish
Highlands, and between there and California you’ve got two locations
that can put you in a dream like state – driving down Sunset Boulevard
as the sun sets or driving over the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula as the
sun rises. The world seems unreal, magical. You’re dreaming through a
landscape.”
“What’s really important about Idlewild is that we are basically punk rock kids. No one ever taught us how to play anything. We formed a band and we
learned. In our own way. We were inspired by the bands we saw just
getting up on stage, making a noise and exchanging ideas, and trying to
change your ideas. That’s principally what the band still do. I’m not a kid rolling
around screaming into a microphone on the floor anymore, but that ideal
is still at our core.”
