With their unique blend of alternative rock and punk influences, Idlewild has become a prominent figure in the music scene. Their energetic live performances and thought-provoking lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fan base.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s seminal album with the first repress since its original release in 2002. Their third album, this reissue continues to celebrate the band’s legacy and catalogue following the reissues of Captain in November 2020 and Warnings/Promises in November 2021. In an exclusive interview with Dig!, Roddy Woomble shared his thoughts on the importance of this record to the band's history… “Simply speaking, The Remote Part is the most popular, commercially successful record that Idlewild ever made. None of our other records achieved that level of popularity. So it’s the defining record for the group.” Upon its original release, the album was met with huge critical acclaim with the NME saying “It's every ounce of Idlewild's potential fulfilled at once” and Mojo agreeing… “Sounding assured and triumphant, Scotland's finest finally have realised their true potential”, while Rolling Stone saw this as the album that made them stand out above their peers… “They ratchet up the latent R.E.M.-isms, elevating themselves heads above their musical kin” and Uncut defined it as a huge progression for the band… “The Remote Part is Idlewild Mark II - sleeker, bolder, better“.
