“Kamikaze” is the final preview before the long-anticipated arrival of Lapse, the first new album in more than 13 years from groundbreaking slowcore pioneers IDAHO.

Led by Laurel Canyon-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Martin since its formation in the early 90s, IDAHO has built a canon that defies the confines of indie rock, bearing the uncanny grace to stimulate equally the full spectrums of the heart, and the mind, with lush, alien four-string guitar tones draped over a ragged, elegant desertscape. Lapse is the first new album from IDAHO since the cult indie rock band's 2011 release, You Were A Dick. Listen to a single now!
