Not much could take me away from my current musical groove that I've been in, but the sentimental value of this album did just that. I first heard Ida about four or five years ago, around the time that I really began bonding with the friends that I have recently grown apart from. This album reminded me how much I love and miss those two special people with whom I spent endless nights playing Settlers of Catan and getting naked. Good times.
My sissyness aside, Will You Find Me is a great, poppy indie album. They have two singers and all of the songs that stand out are sung by the female singer, Elizabeth Mitchell (who also sang and played on Lisa Loeb's "Stay").
In all honesty, I'm too emotionally attached to this album to give it a proper review. They have other good albums and the earlier stuff has more of a "slowcore" (good god! I hate that name) sound. You should all get into Ten Small Paces, as well as this album, which will always be close to my heart.

I love you trey
life can be so depressing sometimes...
life is a long lived torment
haunted by our useless existence
the world will still keep decaying
when we're all in our grave
depression
live is morbid hell
precious? I think not
who cares about the fellow man
your all just a bunch of fucking bastards
depression

Got this record on a whim (mainly because of your post). I love it. Reminds me of nights hanging out with friends and old romances (and current ones).
Thanks!
3 singers actually (though I don't really want to count Karla either). I much prefer their earlier stuff, and the songs sung by Dan.
