Will You Find Me (25th Anniversary) (Vinyl 4LP Box Set)

Fans of Low, Galaxie 500, and slow sad songs tinged with sweetness will find everything to love about this new box set from Numero, celebrating the exquisite fourth album from NYC darlings Ida. Originally released at the turn of the century, this slightly forgotten gem gets fully polished here, with four whole LPs that feature the original Will You Find Me album, with dozens of outtakes, alternate mixes, 4-track demos, and covers. - Flying Out

Funded by Capitol, tracked in 14 studios, issued by Tiger Style, and lost in the Y2K shuffle, Ida's fourth album captures a band caught between Brooklyn and Woodstock, temping and adulting, burying a parent and birthing a child. A tireless compendium and ode to sleep, sex, all-night talking, and other bed-ridden activities, Will You Find Me's 14-songs are pillowed with 34 outtakes, alternate mixes, 4-track demos, and covers from the band's extensive vault, unfolding thematically across four LPs. The accompanying 24-page booklet documents Ida's major label album that never was in both stunning photographs and Douglas Wolk's blow-by-blow essay. Who were you then?
