Much has changed for Idlewild since the release of their last album in 2002.
The Scottish band, reared on a diet of Sonic Youth, expanded into a quintet and their recently-released fifth album, Warnings/Promises, features two new members, guitarist Allan Stewart and bassist Gavin Fox.
Now in their tenth year the band are no strangers to change.
Their initial snarling indie rock has mellowed into sweeping melodic pop with more than a hint of folk. It should finally bring them the mainstream appeal, which has so far proved elusive.
"We've sold a lot of records and played a lot of shows," says lead singer Roddy Woomble, "but we've never been at that Franz Ferdinand level where we sell records to people who aren't dedicated music fans."
The band recorded Warnings/Promises at a Los Angeles cafe where they performed for five nights running as a dysfunctional folk band. The resulting sound morphs their rock beginnings with throbbing rhythms and tumultuous acoustic melodies, a mix the group now seem content to explore.
