about

Echoes is the new single by Ida Wenøe, out 21st May 2021 via Integrity Records/Songcrafter Music, the second track from the former Danish Music Award nominee’s forthcoming third album.

The self-produced single was mixed in Sweden by Tobias Fröberg (Ane Brun, Peter Bjorn & John) and returned to Denmark for mastering by Emil Thomsen (Nils Frahm, Lydmor, Lowly). A song of two equally gorgeous halves, Ida’s voice and finger-picked ´59 Guild take centre stage in the stark Nordic-noir of Act 1, before the full band join the fray for an upbeat Act 2 drenched in Ida’s characteristic blend of Americana and classic English folk.

The song’s theme explores our distant memories of who we once were, now just an echo from afar. The love we once experienced, so great, with its warm embrace, is now a distant Bel Canto, a vague echo, no more than a mild tingling on the surface of the skin.

With a nod to the creative block she suffered during the early part of lock-down, Ida adds:

“What is a song if not its story? What is a song if not its feeling? What do we do when emptiness strikes and the well of inspiration has not a drop of water left? We borrow from others; make their voices our own. This is what ‘Echoes’ is … The vague sound of memories, and voices borrowed.”

Music & Lyrics: Ida Wenøe

Echoes

Lend be bottles I can fill
Bring me water
Quench my thirst, don’t leave me dry
Bring me water
Lend me stories I can tell
Bring me voices

Darkness creeping
Ancient the night
Who are you?

Nothing ever came from nothing
Matters of the heart
Speaking with a desperation
What is soft gets hard
I can only hear the echoes of love
I can only hear the echoes of love
Whisper with the wind

Lend me a house in the forest deep
Bring me silence
Lend me garments I can wear
Bring me feathers
Lend me southern winds to blow
Bring me daylight

Darkness creeping
Ancient the night
Who are you?

Nothing ever came from nothing
Matters of the heart
Speaking with a desperation
What is soft gets hard
I can only hear the echoes of love
I can only hear the echoes of love
I can only hear the echoes of love
I can only hear the echoes of love
Whisper with the wind

Amongst a digital mountain range littered with accomplished folk-ish bands and singersongwriters,
it is a rare miracle to come across a cave so rich in jewels as the one beneath
Ida Wenøe’s ribcage. Clash Magazine‘s description of her sound as being “bewitching acid
folk with a deeply personal edge…” ... more
