Nashville/London-based Americana act Ida Mae have delivered their new single “Lost on Your Time” today.

Chris Turpin said this about the new single, which can be heard below:

“When I wrote ‘Lost on Your Time’ I’d been diving deeper into the folk roots of my childhood. I was rediscovering guitar tunings used by Nick Drake, Richard Thompson and Martin Simpson. I’d ordered a guitar from Roger Fylde; a parlor guitar made partly of a piece of Sinker Redwood - cut from a 200 year old tree pulled from a river bed in Northern California.

‘Lost on Your Time’ was the first song written on the guitar. The combination of the century old American wood and ancient British ballad melodies I was learning seemed to gently come together.

The symbolism and imagery of those old songs seeped into the lyric. The song echos the night drives we’d taken through the mountains in the USA, moving from show to show. Those still moments when it was just me, Stephanie and the road.

It was the first song we cut on the record. The whole band live in close proximity. I can hear the nervous tension and excitement between the players as a static energy on the recording.”

“Lost on Your Time” comes from Ida Mae’s forthcoming studio album Thunder Above You, which will be unveiled on August 25. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.

Later this month, Ida Mae will have a handful of performances with The Wood Brothers in Colorado. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public here.
