IDA MAE WILD FLYING DOVE

Indie duo Ida Mae have dropped a new single in the form of ‘Wild Flying Dove’. The pair have continued to develop their indie, blues-rock sound, hitting us with irresistible grooves and infectious melodies that allow the track to stand out on an already fantastic new album. Explaining the background of the track, they say: “‘Wild Flying Dove’ was a line I pulled from an old folk song found in a ballad book of the British Isles. It was a delicate and beautiful lyric that whispered of a yearning love. I wanted to re-voice the line into something tougher with a stronger female character punching through. A song more of love-struck, Bonnie & Cylde-esque obsession.” Ida Mae’s upcoming album, Thunder Above You, has had its release date changed to October 6th, 2023 and precedes their Autumn tour of Europe and the UK. -Dan Peeke
