Ida Mae's magic lies in the sensual combination of the duo's voices and the intimacy of her songs, and so her stage chemistry is not just an empty pose. Chris and Stephanie come from Norwich and have already played together on Kill It Kid, who have successfully established themselves in the British rock scene. As Ida Mae they present themselves as a more sensitive version of White Stripes meets Civil Wars meets The XX. When the couple sing together, they create an unusual dynamic. They recorded their debut album with renowned producer and friend Ethan Johns (Ray Lamontagne / Kings Of Leon / Laura Marling).
