Ego and the Ids

BIOGRAPHY

Ego and The Ids is a unique musical project. It is an effort to create something beautiful and huge with sound while exploiting music's ability to make people feel something they can relate to. It is about evoking mental images of life, death and everything in between, always taking the time to show the grandeur of the human experience.

Ego and The Ids is like real life, and real chocolate. It is simultaneously bitter and sweet: simple, uplifting and tragic at the same time. We view music as an alchemical process, a formulation of experience and musical influences. Simply put, our music is orchestral, melodic, and experimental.

We hope you enjoy it.

Who do Ego and The Ids listen to? Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Stoa, James, Concrete Blonde, Leonard Cohen, Human Drama, The Clan of Xymox, The Misfits, The Swans, This Mortal Coil, Cranberries, Sisters of Mercy, NIN, The Cult, Joy Division, Fields Of The Nephilim, The Cure, Velvet Underground, Elliot Smith, Pink Floyd, U2, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, etc...

THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING! THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING! Ego and the Ids have done it again taking listeners into an emotional roller-coaster of epic proportions. The working title for Kinemortophobia (fear of the dead) was "Love and Zombies."

Another Sad and Bizzare Chapter in Human History by Ego and the Ids
Release: 2009
4
Reviews: 
Another Sad and Bizzare Chapter in Human History is based on the Arthurian legend and includes eight songs such as Merlin Conjures the Dragon, Round Tables, Guinevere, Lady of The Lake, The Death of Arthur and more. Another Sad and Bizzare Chapter in Human History contains all of the moodiness, rhythmic undercurrent and droning qualities as Almost Masons, but also features the strangely melodious vocals of Gerald del Campo and includes some of his edgier compositions and guitar work reminiscent of Neil Young.
