REVIEW: New York indie-pop trio Ivy filled their cult classic 1997 album ‘Apartment Life’ with bittersweet guitar chime and elegantly melancholic melodies. Now, the LP is getting a much-deserved reissue.
is full of bittersweet guitar chime, elegantly melancholic melodies, and young romantics wounding each other’s hearts in the big city. The music has the Paris flavor of Durand’s childhood idols Francoise Hardy and Serge Gainsbourg, yet with a dash of Blondie’s downtown NYC humor. The lush sound transports you into a Nineties indie film where you step into the coffee shop where your crush hangs out, but you wish you wore slightly fancier shoes.
“I’ve Got a Feeling” is the tune that should have been a hit, soaring with Chase’s joyful guitar and Durand’s lovesick sighs. “Never Do That Again” is a gorgeous torch ballad about a domestic stalemate, where the couple can’t tell if this is just an awkward weekend or the end of the road.
