Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from the New York City trio is a raw and beautiful introduction to their intimate sound. 'Tales of Brave Ida' is a minimalist and lo-fi work of slowcore and indie folk, defined by its sparse arrangements and the beautiful, sad harmonies of Daniel Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell. It's a passionate and deeply personal collection of songs about love and longing.
