Voices for Mental Health: Idles' Joe Talbot, on counselling and catharsis

The thought process I went through before making Joy As An Act of Resistance was about listening to myself, having a conversation with my counsellor, and my friends. I had to improve my life first of all. What counselling taught me is that I needed to share my feelings and that I needed to offload this huge weight I was carrying for so long. Catharsis is a process I went through. The album is a reflection on that catharsis.

•Joy As An Act of Resistance was Hot Press’ Album of the Year, 2018.
