At other times, the key to their sound is the subtly layered vocals of Czech-British singer Iris Hobson-Mazur or the perfect synergy of the band members – guitarist Marek Kolíha, percussionist Filip Simon, keyboardist Jakub Richtárech, and guitarist/bassist Pavel Kleiberger. Ida The Young is preparing the first full-length album for the fall, featuring a mix of older tracks and previously unreleased material.
The band first gained public attention in 2021 with tracks like He Left at Dawn and Long Jesse. Their EP Strange Shaped Flowers (2023) was followed by the release of Silver Thing, which was supported by the Czech label Korobushka. On this release, Ida The Young cautiously ventured into electronic sounds. However, the familiar acoustic instruments and captivating, story-driven lyrics still take center stage, with the lyrics unfolding like a kaleidoscope of animated characters moving to the rhythm of the music.
