The Line of Best Fit

Fusing progressive big-beats, deeply personal lyricism and intelligent song-writing, it once again reveals IDER as the indispensable voices of a generation. Utterly compelling listening.

There’s no doubt that IDER have blessed us with a bounty of bangers in ‘shame’, proving that their creativity knows no bounds when broadening the horizons of what pop music can be.

IDER lança seu seu segundo álbum e de forma independente.
A sonoridade tem umas mixagens interessantes e experimentais que em algumas faixas deram certo como em Cross Yourself (faixa enérgica e pulsante), Knocked Up (o piano/percussão com os vocais roucos combinaram muito), Bored (a faixa punk do disco e a que mais gostei), eu diria que é um bom álbum mesmo não parecendo ser um por ser curto, mas não tira o fato de ter uma ... read more
