IDER share the jaw-dropping, intricate harmonies of new track "Body Love"
After two sold out shows at London's Archspace last week, IDER have unveiled what's likely to be their last track of a successful 2017.
"Body Love" - which sounded terrific live last Wednesday - is a track which shows just how far IDER have come in eighteen months, and allows Megan Markwick and Lily Somerville to take stock, and look forward.
Such is the confidence in this band that they're able to look to IDER's early days (and it's sorta laughable to say "early" but you can just hear that development which makes them a different proposition now) without simply re-hashing a sound.
The opening watery, neo-classical piano lines hark back briefly to the opening bars of "Pulse" before moving seamlessly into rolling and smooth Rhodes-y chords. As always those harmonies leap out at you, but there's something a bit more delicate here, with Markwick and Somerville almost fumbling to find the connection with each other. And yet, that matches the theme of "Body Love", of trying to rediscover that lost part which allows you to love yourself again.
So when the tricky and twisting harmonies hit in the chorus and the outro, filled with self-confidence, it fits the journey perfectly. We're left with a jaw-dropping and intricate mesh of voices, and yet another example of IDER's mighty talent.
