Ideal Home Noise is a record unearthed from much introspection and an attempt to find some comedy and lightness in an otherwise dark period for Vera Ellen. With two voices battling throughout the album, the instrumentation is sometimes light — featuring synths and electronic drums — and sometimes heavy — with ballad-like piano and raw vocals.

"Totally in-keeping with her label Flying Nun’s famous output" - Loud & Quiet Magazine

"Vera Ellen continues to leave my jaw dropped with her delicate balance between the bleak and the beautiful" - Annabel Kean, Undertheradar
