Sometimes the best songs are the ones that surprise. LA-based, electronic-soul band Idesia finds new ways to massage your ears on their recent single “Nu”. The opening drum beat finds me thinking of Radiohead’s “Morning Mr. Magpie”; but then the bass drops, and I’m looking around for Pino Palladino. Still somehow, lead singer Sophie Dimitroff could make even my econometrics homework seductive. By the time the chorus comes around, I am thinking no more. Enjoy “Nu” here, and grab a free download from their bandcamp. Review by Leora Mitzner

See what you mean about the “Morning Mr. Magpie” beat. Similar sounding drum samples/programming. Really dig their use in this context, so tasteful. Might have to play this for my roommate tonight and see if Sophie’s vocals make his data analysis seductive… I think it just might work.
