Manon Meurt | Ida the Young

Manon Meurt – Beauty, noise and vibration. Manon Meurt are masters of contrasts between quiet and noisy passages and are also typical of the epic gradations of their songs. They have been on the scene since 2012 and the current line-up consists of drummer Jiří Bendl, singer, guitarist and bassist Kateřina Elznicová and guitarists Vojtěch Pejša and Kryštof Korčák. After the eponymous debut EP, their first album MMXVIII from 2018 was produced by the legendary Jan P. Muchow. The recording was nominated for the Apollo Czech Critics Award and the Anděl Award in the Alternative and Electronic Music category. Ida the Young – Strange flowers, black lipstick, hungry seagulls, wrinkled hands in the bathtub, volcanoes and murderous cowboys – all this makes up the world of Ida The Young. This five-piece band stands out for both intimate, straightforward vocals and captivating lyrics, as well as colorful instrumentation that is not afraid to mix genres.
