Quiet-core New Yorkers IDA started releasing records in 1994 with "Tales of Brave Ida" on Simple Machines. Mistakenly labelled "folk rock", it took years of constantly touring punk dives and house parties to clue the American rock scene into the truth about their beautiful, dense, dissonant, sad, and sublime musical language. A brief relationship with Capitol records (1998-2000) allowed for an unheard of and nearly infinite amount of recording time for extreme artistic experimentation. A large scale major label merger left the band in legal limbo, only to be bailed out by hipster-powered indie TIGERSTYLE records, who have already released two brilliant records from these sessions: WILL YOU FIND ME and THE BRAILLE NIGHT. "SHHH..." is the result of producer Warn Defever being handed the tapes, stacks of tape, boxes of tape, piles of tape, miles of tape, and given free reign to mix/remix/re-design any song whose title begins with the letters "S" and "H". Warn says: "I liked the strings, the dubs, the instrumentals, the small parts, and the quiet parts. I took the bad parts out and looped the good parts." Some of the highlights include SASHA FRERE-JONES (UI, The Wire) electro remix of SHRUG and Warn Defever's contemporary R&B mix of SHOTGUN. Also worth noting is the super child-friendly cover art by TIME STEREO's DAVIN BRAINARD. It features photographs of a worm who goes to bed at night and then wakes up in the morning!!! | ||
