This is another one a friend said I should check out… bit better than “Naked.”

Maybe it’s because some of the guys on the site here have a tendency to post better bands with that (I don’t like calling it this, but don’t have a better way of describing it) garage rock sound… that’s what I hear here… just with a little less zest than some of the other bands I’ve heard of late have. Ida herself is unique, and the more I hear the more character I hear in her voice… but her voice doesn’t grab me when set against this particular sound.

Also, I don’t mean to imply that I don’t like my fair share of bands who most would probably call bland or generic. I do.

honestly, i also haven’t really read too much about her in the last 6 months or so. i was way into the record last summer but she kinda fell off my radar until SXSW (which she missed both of her official gigs due to VISA issues but made it in time for Perez’s party :/, kind of annoyed me)

yup.

My reaction is probably due to the glowing reception people have been giving her live show. Take this recap for instance:

Really respect that guy so I take his words to heart… if he’s sayin’ she’s explosive, I believe it. Then I hear the song on the radio and see this Leno performance and it doesn’t add up.

not saying it’s the most creative sound ever, but it stands out more than a lot of the other female fronted stuff from Europe as of late.

in this case fun wins out over originality for me

i do like that she dedicated it to Hugh tho, i’m sure the ladies loved that.

not sure wtf is up with her hair. i just love her voice when it cracks, it’s endearing imo.

it’s a pretty good record tho, was on my EOY list last year, not super high or anything.

hoping she comes to town in August

pretty weak sauce
