Brooklyn NY, United States

New Idea Society centers around the song writing of its main creative force Mike Law (also the main force behind EULCID). Along with his former primary collaborator Stephen Brodsky who left the band in 2007 due to geographic distance, Chris DeAngelis has moved to become a centerpiece of the band for the last several albums. DeAngelis, a masterful piano player also plays synthesizers in the band. New Idea Society has begun to assemble an impressive catalog of home recorded songs in addition to some “proper” studio releases. Their first album “You Are Awake Or Asleep” is a dreamy pop filled low-fi experimentation. It is full of songs made at their home studio with a single microphone. Though originally recording in Massachusetts the band has been from Brooklyn, NY of late.
With their second full length 2007’s “The World Is Bright And Lonely” as usual New Idea Society was not content to go the standard route even while recording in a fully equipped studio. The record was recorded totally live (yes including vocals) by a band of assembled friends after only one practice! This forced everyone to quickly find the core of the songs without over analysis. In this manner the recording of 16 tracks was completed in less than a week. The new album was recorded live with the musicians all playing in one room because according to the band “that is what music sounds like.”
