THE IDEAS - The Ideas 180g Black Vinyl LP PRE-ORDER release 24/6/2026

Pre-order linked in bio!

PRE-ORDER - vinyl ships on or before 24th April 2026

The Ideas and 1:12 announce the upcoming release of their new self-titled album, The Ideas, available on 180g black vinyl, Bandcamp, and streaming platforms from Friday 24th April

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, The Ideas are a two-piece noise blues band delivering groovy, heavy riffs over swampy 12-bar blues. Loud, energetic, and unapologetically raw, drawing from the grit of garage rock and the soul of blues, their sound is both primal and electrifying — a sonic punch that hits hard and leaves a mark. Whether on stage or on record, The Ideas create a chaotic, fuzz-drenched experience that turns every performance into a full-body assault of rhythm and noise.

Recorded at Earwig Studios and engineered by Darren McShane, the release preserves the grit, weight, and immediacy that define The Ideas sound. The band worked to capture the feeling of their live performances — chaotic, heavy, and deeply rooted in blues tradition — while pushing into a more aggressive sonic space. Pressed to vinyl with the support of 1:12 Records, the release brings their raw energy to a wider audience.

“We wanted this album to sound raw and to be captured live. No click track, no quantising, and barely any overdubbing. We had a rule - only three takes for each song and we pick what felt best. Those are the live one-take songs you will be hearing on this album.”

Echomatica's latest single, "Technicolour Dreams," is a bright mix of sounds that makes them the best band in the retro-infused indietronica scene. Th
