Formed in 1992, Ida have quite a legacy. Line-up changes, label changes and marriage are all a part of what makes Ida such an interesting band. With three wonderful full lengths released on the historic Simple Machines record label, and a slew of singles with artists such as Portastatic and The Secret Stars the band were offered a deal with Capitol Records and thus recorded Will You Find Me. After a decision not to release the record on Capitol, the record is finally here.

Will You Find Me is a wonderful progression for the band as they were able to record this album in the manner they saw fit. Guest musicians such as Tara Jane O'Neil and Cynthia Nelson from Retsin, Warren Defever from His Name is Alive and Bernie Worrell of P-Funk all contribute to making this record the fullest and most dynamic Ida release to date. Re-recorded classics such as Shotgun and Maybelle tie in perfectly with new tracks such as Triptych and Past the Past. As a band and on Will You Find Me, Ida have created music that is able to move even the most stoic and un-interested listener as the sheer beauty of their chords and melodies rain down upon the ears like a thunderstorm in April. As a constant touring act, Ida have won the hearts of fans all over the country, as the Minneapolis City Pages states, "Every once in a while you see a band that reaffirms your faith in music" or as the Village Voice states, "?stunning?wrenchingly lovely harmonies and a sober maturity."
