Re-Release of Idaho's 2004 German release in a Limited Edition case with 5-Track-Bonus-EP `To Be The One´.
Between friends: it's obvious that with Vieux Carré, Idaho have gained for themselves gallery seats in the theatre of Rock. Jeff Martin shapes the sound as a sleepwalking shiver, challenging singer, and with spherical, yet sharp-edged electric as well as acoustic guitars. The pieces seem like torn whisps of clouds in the sky, somewhere between David Sylvian and Kurt Cobain, between bittersweet ballads ("Before you go") and passionate Indie-Rock ("Flat Top"). Try copying that! Vieux Carré is an album that makes a statement, in 58 minutes, intensive and entrancingly beautiful. A gateway drug, a moment of life in real life. This is the stuff that makes us better people…
