Description:
After touring in support of 2005`s Heart Like a River, Ida found an acoustically sublime haven in Levon Helm`s (of The Band) home studio located in the Catskill Mountains. Over the next two years Ida abandoned their traditional studio perfectionism in favor of a spontaneous approach that included live tracking with few overdubs. The band ironically wound up with the clearest, most dynamic album they have ever made. In tune with this process, Ida have managed to make their most powerful statement: A collection of songs that invoke the proximity of the invisible and the reality of love with an earned grace that comes from experiene, persistence, and an undiminished enthusiasm for making sounds together. Lovers Prayers is Ida`s seventh full-length album. (Polyvinyl Records)
