IDA
WILL YOU FIND ME (25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) (NUMERO GROUP)
Funded by Capitol, tracked in 14 studios, issued by Tiger Style, and lost in the Y2K shuffle, Ida's fourth album captures a band caught between Brooklyn and Woodstock, temping and adulting, burying a parent and birthing a child.
A tireless compendium and ode to sleep, sex, all-night talking, and other bed-ridden activities, Will You Find Me`s 14-songs are pillowed with 34 outtakes, alternate mixes, 4-track demos, and covers from the band's extensive vault, unfolding thematically across four LPs.
The accompanying 24-page booklet documents Ida's major label album that never was in both stunning photographs and Douglas Wolk's blow-by-blow essay.
Who were you then?
