Originally a duo, IDAHO took root in Los Angeles in the early 90s, later evolving into a full-fledged band. A survivor of the slowcore movement, the project has traversed eras and styles. Each new album is eagerly anticipated by a handful of devoted fans: a path stubbornly carved far from commercial constraints, patiently strung sonic pearls, palpable fragility, and the feeling that every sound travels from the deepest depths of the musicians' souls before reaching us (and settling into our own). Released in the early 2000s, "Hearts Of Palm" is undoubtedly one of the band's cornerstones: the newspaper Libération ranked it among the top 5 albums of the year, and more broadly, the French press lauded this return to elegiac atmospheres. Before the release of a new album planned for 2019, it is these crystalline guitars, this misty melancholia that we find here, released for the first time in vinyl format and remastered for the occasion. "It's folk rock from before the deluge, a return to the roots of Neil Young and 70s Dylan, it's also an album close to Jim O'Rourke in his most melodic vein." Magic "The Los Angeles duo continues its exploration of melancholic mists and in the process delivers what might well be their best album to date." Les Inrocks
