Overview

  • IDLES released “Rabbit Run” as the lead single, capturing the gritty energy of the early-’90s New York punk scene with fuzz-pedal-driven intensity.
  • The full 16-track soundtrack, arriving via Partisan Records on August 29, features four original IDLES compositions, a cover of Junior Marvin’s “Police and Thieves,” and the band’s interpretations of Rob Simonsen’s score.
  • The collaboration originated from a chance backstage meeting on The Tonight Show, prompting Aronofsky to enlist the band to inject a punk sensibility into his crime thriller.
  • By performing Simonsen’s orchestral score alongside their own songs, IDLES deliver a rare fusion of rock attitude and cinematic composition for a feature film.
  • Caught Stealing, based on Charlie Huston’s novel and starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Bad Bunny and Regina King, opens in U.S. theaters on August 29.
