Ida - Lovers Prayers
Ida, a New York City band known for their quiet, even pastoral, take on urban life, has moved to the woods.
Now, it seems, the woods have moved into their music. Strange buzzing sounds, incandescent acoustic drones,
dissonant tone clusters of unknown origin, the distant communications of birds, and unobstructed views of the
night sky suffuse the gently strummed guitars, sparse piano notes, and poignant personal narratives of Daniel
Littleton, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Karla Schickele.
Ida found an acoustically sublime haven in Levon Helm's home studio, a perfectly aged, completely wooden
(even the nails!) structure located in the Catskill Mountains near Woodstock, NY. They came to affectionately
refer to it as “The Barn”. There the band played shows as part of the "Midnight Ramble" concert series, an
opportunity that inspired them to go all the way into their new “super woods, super organic, slightly mystical”
style - a soulful looseness, a connection with the simple, joyful experience of playing songs for a small crowd in
a sympathetic, intimate, rural setting.
