http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63454&rws=%2Fivy%2Ftop-tracks.rssIvy are a trio out of New York City fronted by Parisian expatriate Dominique Durand. Specializing in deceivingly sunny jangling pop, they've managed to eke out a niche for themselves that combines Durand's chanteuse-styled vocals (recalling Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier, without the Marxist patter) and guitar work and intelligently sculpted pop that recalls Johnny Marr (without the multi-tracking). The band released an early 7" and EP (which featured a fine cover of Orange Juice's "I Guess I'm Just A Little Too Sensitive") before releasing their debut <I>Realistic</I> in 1995. Former Ultra Vivid Scene-ster Kurt Ralske was recruited to produce, and the record managed to balance ultralight vocals with crisp, clear guitar work underneath the sort of doe-eyed melancholy that comes from reading old love letters. <I>Apartment Life</I> (1997) managed to further this formula, this time with help from people like Lloyd Cole, James Iha, and Dean Wareham. - Jon PruettDream Popen720Wed, 2 Dec 2009 04:25:53 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63454&rws=%2Fivy%2Ftop-tracks.rss Ivy are a trio out of New York City fronted by Parisian expatriate Dominique Durand.
