There It Goes

Better Than

Floating In Forever

The fragility of life, love, and their counterparts; these are the things that shape our existence and the aptly named debut album Counterpart by new alt. rockers, Iduna.

Produced by Mark Makoway (Moist, David Usher), Iduna’s Counterpart is a guitar-driven nod to the great halls of alt. rock past. The introspective lyrics, sometimes wistful, sometimes fierce, are delivered with rich harmonies and stirring melodies.

Counterpart is a record consisting of the band’s most sincere moments. Each track is an attempt at vulnerability, articulating feelings of betrayal, injury, optimism, and compassion. The group strives for honesty in everything they do and brought that attitude to the studio. Seeking a like-minded producer, Iduna reached out to Mark who eagerly came on board after listening to a handful of demos. Together they sculpted songs over a period of many months, leading to a gratifying recording undertaking at PhaseOne Studios and Rumblecone in Toronto.

Off Your Radar

Radiate

Creeping In

Feel my fingers slip by,
I know what it’s like to hold this moment in time.
Like a snake it slithers,
Undulating past.
I can feel the coils slowly getting tight.
Now you're with me,
Hold me in the flames,
Blood is boiling; pounding steady.
I can take it slowly, I can take it fast.
Take it anyway you like.

Oh, this feeling creeping in.
I can’t control myself.
I’m so alive,
I know it’s not a sin.
This feeling’s taking over.

Now that you’re here with me,
You’ll know what it’s like to hold my fate in your hands.
See the dam it’s cracking,
Crumbling control.
Don’t lose your grip, don’t let it slip away.
Senses break down,
Feel it in your bones,
Let the current take you away.
Grasp is getting tighter,
Cracks starting to show,
I can feel me breaking.
Breaking.

Oh, this feeling creeping in.
I can’t control myself.
I’m so alive,
I know it’s not a sin.
This feeling’s taking over.

This feeling’s taking over, over
Oh, this feeling creeping in.
I can’t control myself.
I’m so alive,
I know it’s not a sin.
This feeling’s taking over.
It’s creeping in.
It’s not a sin.
Feel it taking over.

Here We Are Alone

Iduna makes alternative rock music that wrestles with the question of what it is to be and who we should be to each other. Building on the sounds of The Smashing Pumpkins, Matthew Good Band, Biffy Clyro, and Kings of Leon with a political tinge, their songs are replete with questions about modern morality and the state of being an empathetic person in a world complicit with injustice.

Through dual melodies produced by vocalists/guitarists Jason Craig and Trison Boyes, overlaid upon the raw and wild grooves of bassist Tim Nox and drummer Craig Koziar, Iduna explores the harmony found in our struggles and kinship. Music offers both respite and exploration of these challenges, and Iduna aims to share that experience with whoever will join them.
