Ida - Will You Find Me - 25th Anniversary (Colored Vinyl, Blue)

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?
