The Profile

Idlewild are a Scottish indie rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1995, fronted by Roddy Woomble and noted for guitar-driven songwriting across multiple albums.

Formed in Edinburgh in 1995. Notable albums include 100 Broken Windows (2000) and The Remote Part (2002). Frequently compared in press to R.E.M.; discography includes later comeback releases such as Everything Ever Written (2016) and Interview Music (2019).

DeBaser's reviews portray Idlewild as a respected Scottish indie/alternative rock band with highs (The Remote Part, 100 Broken Windows, later comebacks) and uneven albums. Reviews praise guitar work, melodies and live energy while sometimes critiquing dated balladry or cautious production. The overall impression is of a band valued by critics and fans alike.
