Idaho

Long revered and rarely understood, IDAHO returns with Lapse (Arts & Crafts), their first album in over a decade a raw, slow-burning document from a band thats never played by the rules. Led by Laurel Canyons Jeff Martin, IDAHO has built a fiercely independent legacy over four decades, blending jagged tunings, ghostly textures, and vocals that cut with quiet intensity. Their sound is equal parts beauty and abrasion fragile, distorted, defiantly out of step. Lapse rekindles the uneasy magic of their early work, while the recently released The Devil You Know box set reminds us just how far ahead of the curve theyve always been. Still underground, still uncompromising IDAHO is not here to chase the moment, but to leave a mark that lingers.
