Ida is an indie rock icon I’ve somehow never heard of. If Road to Ruin is any indication, that says more about my lack of a clue than the band’s stature or talent. With hand claps instead of drums and a few simple piano strokes, there’s nothing complicated about this track, from Ida’s latest EP, My Fair, My Dark. I’m not sure which of Ida’s many singers is featured on this track, but whoever it is has a terrific—and haunting—voice.
