Album Review
Ivy follow up 2001's Long Distance with their sophisticated fourth album, In the Clear. The ten-song set shines with smooth synth beats, breezy acoustic guitars, and elegant string arrangements. It's refined and focused, but also sexy and intimate. The band's airy softness turns dark, and it's an inviting listen. Dominique Durand's honeyed, warm vocals are as seductive as ever, especially on skin-tight tracks such as "Four in the Morning" and "Keep Moving." "Tess Don't Tell" is classic Ivy. Andy Chase's post-punk-influenced background fits Adam Schlesinger's pop roots so nicely on this track, and it's playful in mood without going overboard. Ivy didn't overdo things in the studio. It's an album that breathes easy while also one that struts in slow motion. The dreamy, piano-laden opener, "Nothing But the Sky," is testament to that. Slow-building pastel-colored melodies mixed between cool, chilled rock moments capture the essence of In the Clear. It's most definitely an impressive culmination of Ivy's career to date.

Just wow
by psychegrrlI've been listening to this CD for 3 years now, and its still fresh and new to me. Every person i introduce Ivy to, they love it... its just fantastic music to chillax with... no frills. no bull. just great music
Nothing better than this
by mr_rodI heard some tracks by Ivy a few months ago and ended up buying nearly every track. I have listened to this band every day for the last 8 months and I just don't get tired of them. They are edgy, smooth and sophisticated, with some pop thrown in. It just doesn't get better than this!
An album, not merely a collection of songs
by BLPDCI love iTunes because it allows me to purchase just the songs I want. I think we all love it for that. However, every so often you come across an artist or band that actually puts together a complete album, and not just a bunch of songs, some of which are great and others not so much. I heard Ivy on Pandora, and hopped over to iTunes to check out the rest of the album. It is so rare that I find an album where I can just hit "Play" and let it ride all the way through. This is a fantastic piece of work. Congrats to Ivy, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone reading this.
