Review

When Ida's I Know About You was released, you could mentally cross Rainer Maria with Low and have a reasonable approximation of the band's emphatic, unpredictable sound. They were angry young music geeks, down and out and unafraid of expressing punk sentiments in an intricate wash of piano, cello, violin, and acoustic guitar. The band added a permanent member and hit its stride for the stellar follow-up, Ten Small Paces, but stumbled shortly thereafter, losing a member and switching labels twice before landing on Tiger Style. Too bad for Tiger Style that Ida seemed to hit the breaking point in those transitional years. The band members still play and sing like virtuosos, but dirges comprise the best moments of their most recent albums, while pop songs provide the worst. On The Braille Night, tempo also is inversely proportional to lyrical quality, leaving toe-tappers like "Blizzard of '78" with bland lyrics like "You can't shake this silent stare / In your heart you're just not there / You're a thousand miles from here / You just want to disappear." Any recommendation of Ida is likely based on the band's older albums. New to their sound? Lay a foundation with that more varied material before picking this one up. --Sarah Sternau
