BIO

Led by Laurel Canyon-based singer-songwriter Jeff Martin, IDAHO are the unsung cult heroes of 90s slowcore. Often grouped amongst post-grunge indie rock pioneers like Low, Songs: Ohia, and Codeine, IDAHO is distinguished by the desert atmospherics of frontman Jeff Martin’s four-string guitar, echoing out his elegant songcraft in a canyon of alien tones and melancholic feedback. Founded in 1992 in Los Angeles by singer/songwriter Martin and lifetime collaborator the late John Berry, IDAHO exemplified an adventurous and original take on the American underground, fusing fuzzed-chord grunge rock, pedal-pushing shoegaze, and post-hardcore experimentalism with an overall ambiance of beautiful despondency. Across its catalogue of now ten full length releases, including 2024’s return, Lapse, its first new album after a thirteen year hiatus, IDAHO has defined modes of longing, mystery, grace, and dreamy-yet-edgy nuance entirely its own. Celebrated as a “brutally beautiful return to form” (Paste), Lapse has ushered in a renaissance for the band, including the career-spanning documentary Traces Of Glory and The Devil You Know vinyl anthology, all together honing in on the muse that ignited more than three decades IDAHO’s  canon of deliberate and devastating beauty.
