idaho | year after year

wonderful, dreamy first album from idaho, the vinyl crackles just enhancing the overall intimate experience for me.

lp released by caroline in 1993.

get. *link fixed*

idaho | the palms ep

possibly my favourite idaho 7"? jeff martin just sounds so wonderfully tired. mix that with some atmospheric guitar distortion, as on "fall around" and i'm yours.

7" released by caroline in 1993.

slooooowcore.

idaho | drive it

one of my favourite records by idaho. b side "sweep" is positively crystalline.

7" released by quigley in 1994.

bliss. *re-upped*

idaho | pomegranate bleeding

the only single taken from 3rd album "three sheets to the wind". can't find my original copy or the artwork online, so here's a picture taken from this site instead.

dirty duvet dirty mind. *re-upped*

idaho | this way out

idaho are one of those bands that very few people seem to know about despite having released exquisite records on a pretty high profile label (caroline). fans of slowcore take note. think j mascis on downers and you're not far off. songs like weird wood and sweep are enough to make a man cry.

if anyone has the palms ep or year after year as mp3 i'd be very grateful - i have them on vinyl but no bloody turntable right now (nowhere to put it).

from 1994 on caroline.

happy all the time is boring.
