I Know About You (30th Anniversary Edition)

Ida’s I Know About You is the kind of break-up record that lingers. First released in 1996, the band’s second album drifted out of Brooklyn on detachable car stereo CD players and mixtapes passed between long-distance lovers.

Its lofted harmonies, pick-pocket rhythms, and ambulance-in-the-distance guitar solos still hit with quiet force. Originally issued on the stalwart Simple Machines label, it remains a tender, beautifully frayed snapshot of its moment.

This 30th anniversary deluxe Numero edition of I Know About You adds half a dozen extras, a wealth of photographic evidence, and fresh context from Jenny Toomey and Sara Marcus. Tissues not included.
