Despite the lack of recognition from the press and a low profile, Idaho has gained a decent-sized underground following through a steady release schedule and sporadic touring.
　　Jeff Martin , once again, goes it alone for this record save for some backing vocal by Eleni Mandell. His forays into TV and film scoring for the last 10 years have been nice but it was high time for a new Idaho effort to once again taint the ethers after a 5 year hiatus (« The Lone Gunman, 2005).
　　« You were a dick » was recorded at Jeff’s house in Laurel Canyon. His first short film “The Serpent and the Shadow” is currently playing in film festivals and lends some of it’s musical score to the new record. Jeff is making a yet to be titled feature length documentary that centers on Idaho’s European tour in ’02 .The documentary also visits many chapters of his musical life from childhood up to the present day taking full advantage of his extensive personal video and film library.
　　« His acoustic and custom four-string guitars’ unique tonal qualities assert themselves in subtle fashions, such as on a fuzzy instrumental “Impaler” (ah, classic mid ‘90s Idaho!), the more drums-centered “Up the Hill” and the up-tempo buzz of “The Space Between,” while several others like “Reminder” and “Someone to Relate To” are his sweetly sad piano meditations in the Neil Young “Soldier” mode—his low, trembling, sighing voice filling in the melodic movements. It’s music to accompany crossing the Mojave Desert, and outside of Wheat’s Medeiros and Husband & Wife’s Dark Dark Woods, no one else ever came close to Martin’s moist morning mood; and after so long gone, I’d forgotten how much I love it. » Jack Rabids, The Big Takeover.
