IDLES Debut 'Rabbit Run' from Aronofsky's 'Caught Stealing', Announce Block Party & Tour Plans
July 30, 2025
Idles, the punk band, has unveiled a new single titled 'Rabbit Run' from the soundtrack of Darren Aronofsky's upcoming film 'Caught Stealing,' set to be released by Sony Pictures on August 29, 2025.
The band contributed four original tracks to the film's soundtrack and collaborated with composer Rob Simonsen to record the full score.
The soundtrack, available digitally on the same day as the film's release, includes 'Rabbit Run' and a cover of 'Police and Thieves,' originally made famous by The Clash.
IDLES frontman Joe Talbot expressed his gratitude for the collaboration with Aronofsky, describing it as a significant opportunity that felt like a dream come true, stemming from a chance meeting at 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'
Darren Aronofsky praised IDLES for their ability to capture the energy of the 1990s New York punk scene, stating that their collaboration was a dream come true for the film's score.
Rob Simonsen, who worked with IDLES on the score, highlighted the challenge and inspiration of building an atmospheric sound palette from their music, which reflects the film's gritty themes.
The lead track 'Rabbit Run' features a fast-paced punk sound that aligns with the film's narrative of confronting fear, as the story follows Hank Thompson, played by Austin Butler, who becomes entangled with gangsters.
Based on Charlie Huston's novel, 'Caught Stealing' is set in the gritty East Village of 1990s New York City and features a star-studded cast including Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Bad Bunny, Regina King, and Matt Smith.
In addition to their film work, IDLES will host a Block Party in Bristol on August 1-2, 2025, featuring a diverse lineup, and will support Deftones and My Chemical Romance on their North American tour in September.
Talbot also mentioned that the band is working on new material, with plans to finish their next album later this year, following their recent Grammy nominations for their album 'TANGK.'
IDLES have been involved in various projects, including a film and computer game score, and have shown solidarity with global causes, dedicating their recent Primavera Sound Festival set to Palestine.
