With their highly-anticipated new album landing later next month, Ida Mae have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Lost On Your Time' follows on from the previously shared lead track 'My Whispers Are Wildfire' in previewing their third LP 'Thunder Above You', which is out on the 25th August.
Speaking about the new offering, the band's Chris Turpin said, "When I wrote 'Lost on your Time' I'd been diving deeper into the folk roots of my childhood. I was rediscovering guitar tunings used by Nick Drake, Richard Thompson and Martin Simpson. I'd ordered a guitar from Roger Fylde; a parlour guitar made partly of a piece of Sinker Redwood - cut from a 200 year old tree pulled from a river bed in Northern California.
"'Lost on your Time' was the first song written on the guitar. The combination of the century old American wood and ancient British ballad melodies I was learning seemed to gently come together.
"The symbolism and imagery of those old songs seeped into the lyrics. The song echoes the night drives we'd taken through the mountains in the USA, moving from show to show. Those still moments when it was just me, Stephanie and the road.
"It was the first song we cut on the record. The whole band lives in close proximity. I can hear the nervous tension and excitement between the players as a static energy on the recording."
