When Ida released "Will You Find Me" (Tiger Style) to overwhelming critical praise in the summer of 2000, word was already out about "The Braille Night". Ida had recorded enough material for two full length albums while signed to Capitol records, and the second album "The Braille Night" was a few mixes away from completion. Following 6 months of touring in support of "Will You Find Me", Ida stepped out of their van and back into the studio to put the finishing touches on what is now their fifth full-length, "The Braille Night". Most of the songs on "The Braille Night" were recorded during the "Will You Find Me" sessions. Incorporating some of the sonic and improvisational elements of their recent tours, but always placing experimentation in the service of the songs, the sound of this record is darker and looser than previous Ida releases. Haunting, minimalist, and breathtakingly beautiful, "The Braille Night" captures Ida in its most personal light. With 10 songs ranging from electric rockers to quiet acoustic songs and ambient drone instrumentals, this is possibly the most adventurous and intimate Ida recording yet. "The Braille Night" is a split release between Tiger Style, and Ida's own label, Last Affair Records. "Will You Find Me" achieved massive success in the US, selling over 10,000 copies. Ida played as Lisa Loeb's backing band for a while. Carla from Ida's side project, K, have a split single with Low out now. |

"Every once in a while an album comes along that
just knocks the wind right out of you...WYFM is that good...the
most intricate and beautiful album the band has offered yet."
"They go beyond the mere aural radiance, as sung
and instrumental harmonies encircle each other like shared desires
that still can't transcend the essential loneliness each lover must
feel." "This New York band is all about intimacy and
the coziness of its music is beautiful." |
